Adam Phillips made it 3-1 from the penalty spot four minutes later after Ashqar Ahmed was adjudged to have brought down Ogbeta in the penalty area.
Daniel Kyerewaa pulled one back for the visitors in the 66th minute with a powerful strike into the bottom corner but his side were unable to find an equaliser.
