Joe Newell then saw a free-kick deflected behind for a corner kick after Oztumer was felled.
George Moncur tested Alnwick from 25-yards with the Posh shot-stopper beating the effort away. Sanchez Watt was cautioned for the umpteenth foul, the latest of which came on the Posh skipper Payne just on the half hour mark.

Five minutes after the re-start, Mclean was presented with a golden chance to break the deadlock after a glorious pass from Bostwick, but his first touch was heavy and his shot was blocked.
Mclean saw a shot well blocked after a well-worked Posh free-kick involving Joe Newell after Washington had been upended in a wide area.

Colchester made the first change with 10 minutes to go as Rhys Healey replaced Massey.
On 84 minutes, Walker pushed a fierce Anderson shot around the post after letting fly from 25-yards.
Posh had the golden chance to break the deadlock three minutes from time as Watt brought down Bostwick for a penalty kick, but Mclean saw his spot-kick superbly saved by Walker.
