SLOUGH Town suffered a 3-1 defeat away at Wingate & Finchley in their latest pre-season friendly on Saturday.
The home team took just three minutes to break the deadlock as Rob Laney pulled the ball across for Ola Sogbanmu to score into an empty net.
Isthmian League Premier Division club Wingate & Finchley doubled their advantage 11 minutes later.
Karl Oliyide received the ball 25-yards out, turned and powered a fierce shot into the top corner, giving Mark Scott no chance.
The hosts kept up the pressure on Slough, who found it difficult to maintain possession at times, and nearly scored again but Martel Powell drilled his shot wide.
Oliyide saw an effort superbly turned away by Scott as half-time neared, and the same player saw another shot fall wide of the post after chipping the ball over the keeper.
The Rebels were very much fortunate to still be within touching distance at the interval, with Slough not having tested Bobby Smith in the Wingate goal.
A series of half-time changes freshened things up for the visitors, and at last Slough had a sight of goal, but Scott Harris fired over and Jamie McClurg shot wide.
Oliyide forced another save from Scott, however The Rebels showed significant improvement from the first-half and managed to impose themselves on the hosts a bit more.
They held onto the ball much better and put some dangerous balls into the box.
Slough pulled one back when half-time substitute Lewis Putman was presented with the chance to score from the penalty spot after Kieron Street tripped him in the box.
Putman coolly dispatched the penalty, sending Smith the wrong way.
Mechak Williams nearly extended the hosts' lead but shot wide, however the hosts did find a third goal on 84 minutes.
Williams teed up Laney to scored at the second attempt after Scott had saved his initial shot.
