Both teams had plenty of chances to take the initiative in this tie, but to be frank some of the finishing was quite woeful.
On the balance of play United just about deserved their victory when substitute Suarez netted with a well placed header through a crowded penalty area very late in the game.
The Pilgrims had the lions share of the second half possession with Brigg confined to mounting a few counter attacks.
In the end all the one way traffic eventually paid off.
If the game had finished at 0-0 on 90 minutes it would have gone straight to penalties (no extra time), which could have meant a very late finish given both teams apparent reluctance to get the ball on target all night.
