Midway through the half, Wigan took the lead, as James McClean slotted home from inside the box.

Powell wasted a great chance to double their lead, but after being played through by James Perch, he fired the ball straight at the keeper.

Liam Palmer almost brought the hosts level at the start of the second half, when his effort from inside the box struck the post, but the referee decided that the conditions were too dangerous for play to continue and soon called the game off.
