Colchester stretched their unbeaten run under Aidy Boothroyd to seven matches as they edged a closely contested Essex derby at Leyton Orient.
The visitors broke the deadlock with a Kayode Odejayi header after a flick-on from an Anthony Wordsworth corner.
Orient's replacement keeper Glenn Morris, on for the injured Jamie Jones, made a superb save to deny midfielder John-Joe O'Toole.
Colchester keeper Ben Williams tipped over a late drive from Andros Townsend.
Leyton Orient manager Geraint Williams told BBC London 94.9:
"It was a frustrating afternoon, a tough game physically. It was a set piece that cost us the game.
"I was disappointed, we wanted to get the ball down to play but it was very difficult and they are a big strong side.
"We didn't look like too much in the second half, what let us down was our delivery from our set pieces, we didn't test the goalkeeper."
Colchester manager Aidy Boothroyd told BBC Essex:
"These are a good side, the score could have gone any other way, but we managed to keep the clean sheet and score the goal.
"We managed to ride our luck, defend resolutely at times, and what they had to offer we managed to stop.
"On another day they might have nicked a goal or two, but we managed to ride it out and that's what you have to do."
