However, as the clock ticked into the last of six minutes of stoppage time, Eskas was advised to review Colwill’s challenge on Ruiz and awarded a penalty.
Keeper James Trafford dived to his right to keep out Ruiz’s spot-kick and then repelled substitute Aimar Oroz’s follow-up follow-up to preserve his clean sheet and ensure a 1-0 victory for his side.
The team is managed by former Ireland international Lee Carsley, who has been linked with the Ireland senior job in recent times.
