Three minutes later a free-kick to the back post was headed back into the danger area by Will Wright with unfortunate Exiles defender Matt Baker getting the last touch as Glatzel sought to bundle it into the roof of the net.
Just before the break Glatzel had his attempt well saved by Nick Townsend before Wales Under-21 star Joel Cotterill hammered in the loose ball from the edge of the box.
A great save stopped Glatzel netting at the near-post just after the break before he blasted over at the end of a quieter second half.
