Peterborough capped a memorable week by claiming bragging rights with a 1-0 win at managerless arch-rivals Cambridge.
Having reached the EFL Trophy final on Tuesday, Posh grabbed the decisive goal 10 minutes into the second half.
In a seemingly unthreatening position, Ephron Mason-Clark delivered a cross from the left which evaded everyone in the box before finding the far corner of Jack Stevens' net.
Their pressure had been building before half-time, with Archie Collins clipping the top of the bar from the edge of the box and the unmarked Kwame Poku somehow firing Malik Mothersille's cross wide.
The hosts - who saw manager Neil Harris leave this week to return to Millwall - threatened themselves, with Jed Steer saving well from Jack Lankester's effort and from the resulting corner Elias Kachunga headed in before being denied by the offside flag.
