Rushden and Diamonds were lucky to come away with a point after a goalless draw against a largely dominant Cambridge.

Felino Jardim looked especially dangerous in the final third for the home side but they could not convert a number of gilt-edged chances.

Rushden goalkeeper Dale Roberts was impressive throughout, making valuable saves including Paul Carden's 20-yard effort in the second half.

He also skillfully parried Jardim's injury-time shot away to safety.
