City belatedly threatened through Willum Willumsson. The Iceland international's 25-yard free kick was tipped over by Jacob Chapman then his mazy run and cross saw May head wide from a yard out.
Jay Stansfield and May both fired off target as Blues began to dominate.
Stansfield then slid a shot fractionally wide from substitute Alfons Sampsted's cross.
May tapped home the only goal after Stansfield unselfishly squared following another Sampsted delivery.
Chapman denied substitute Emil Hansson twice and Paik Seung-ho as City hunted a deserved second goal, but May's strike proved to be enough.
