CHANCES were at a premium in a typical end-of-season encounter between two sides with nothing to play for but pride.

But Coventry broke the deadlock five minutes before the break when Michael Mifsud finished a quick counter attack by burying the ball underneath Brian Jensen's outstretched right hand at the near post.

Ade Akinbiyi went close to equalising on the stroke of half-time but dragged his shot narrowly wide.
