Gary O'Neil and Ipswich Town claimed their first pre-season win by securing a 2-1 victory against Wycombe Wanderers at Adams Park Stadium.

The Tractor Boys, who played a split-squad double-header on Saturday, fell to a disappointing 2-0 defeat against League One outfit Oxford United in their first fixture of the afternoon.

Wycombe forward Emre Tezgel broke the deadlock after 56 minutes, having pounced on goalkeeper Alex Palmer's parried save and struck from close range.

Darnell Furlong almost equalised for Ipswich with 25 minutes to play, but his shot from just inside the box rattled the crossbar.

However, central midfielder Cameron Humphreys was on hand level things up with a right-footed curler before grabbing the winner with a tap-in one minute before full-time.

Summer signings Daizen Maeda and Issa Diop were also handed their first minutes in Ipswich Town colours.

The squad is set to take on Le Havre next at Portman Road on 4 August in a bid to get more minutes in the tank ahead of their Premier League return.
