Onome Sodje missed a penalty as struggling York spurned the chance to move out of the relegation zone.

Oxford's Damian Batt was judged to have handled in the area, but Sodje's poor spot-kick was parried by Billy Turley.

The U's Simon Clist had a fierce early shot saved by Michael Ingham, but after that York dominated the first half.

However, Oxford finished strongly, with Adam Chapman's 25-yard volley caught by Ingham and James Constable hitting the bar in injury time.

Ingham, Pejic, Parslow, McGurk, Robinson, Brown, Greaves (Hogg 85), Christian Smith, Boyes, Sodje (Adam Smith 78), McBreen.
