Fleetwood Town find themselves one goal up at the break, with goals from Josh Morris and Nick Haughton trumping Matt Done's header.
The first real action of note was when Fleetwood's Stephen Jordan had to be replaced due to injury just 10 minutes into the game, with Nathan Pond coming on.
Fleetwood's Conor McLaughlin misplaced a pass back to his own keeper but Jose Baxter could not take advantage and shot high and wide into the stand.
Morris got Fleetwood on the scoreboard first with a thumping effort from 20 yards out, although he was subsequently booked for his celebrations with the away fans.
Haughton then got his club's second goal after smashing in a long-range shot after his initial free kick attempt hit the wall.
Done got a consolation header for United with five minutes left of the half to play, as the sides went in 2-1.
