York had to settle for a goalless draw with high-flying Cambridge, despite having the better chances.

Simon Rusk, Craig Farrell and Simon Russell all had shots blocked or go wide for the home side as they pressed for a goal in the opening half.

Mark Greaves, Daniel McBreen and Farrell threatened after the break but failed to get the goal York, who were missing striker Onome Sodje, craved.

The closest Cambridge came to a goal was from Felino Jardim.
