Bas Savage's early goal against Colchester United handed Dagenham & Redbridge back-to-back wins in League One for the first time this season.
After victory over Bristol Rovers on Saturday, the hosts got off to a flying start when Romain Vincelot's hard work allowed Savage to poke home.
The U's created little but Ian Henderson's late free-kick hit John Nurse in the wall.
The Daggers broke away late on but were denied by keeper Ben Williams.
Colchester United manager John Ward told BBC Essex: "It was a soft performance. We've been embroiled in a really poor game of football from both teams and I think we were the poorest of the two.
"We got what we deserved, which was nothing, because we've not had a real determination to do something about that.
"We've conceded from a second phase of a set-play which we warned the team about and then not really looked like getting back in the game."
