Cambridge were made to pay for missing a host of chances in their 1-1 draw with Harrogate.

The U's should have had the game won by half-time but only scored once and the visitors hit back to take a point.

Louis Appere's impressive start to the season continued with the opener after 18 minutes.

A Kell Watts header was kept out by a good James Belshaw save, only for Appere to fire home the rebound.

Shane McLoughlin had already fired off target twice when his fierce drive was well tipped over by Belshaw.

Moments later Appere should have scored again but could only guide a Sullay Kaikai cross wide of the far post.

The hosts were made to regret their wastefulness when Harrogate found an equaliser seven minutes after the break.

A Lewis Cass cross from the right was met with a firm, low volley by Stephen Duke-McKenna.

Cambridge completely lost their momentum after the goal and failed to create a serious chance to retake the lead in the closing stages.
