For the second time in just over a month Wakefield arrived at Lancaster's Giant Axe ground to sneak away with a win, they contributed little to the game except for one thing they scored and City didn't.
The visitors arrived minus six of their better players so this looked like an odds on City win but it was not to be.
A first half offered little in the way of goalmouth entertainment although it was extremely competitive.
City had the edge and for the first twenty minutes or so were virtually camped in the Wakefield half although created absolutely nothing in goal scoring attempts.
Gradually Wakefield began to get a toe hold in the game and it was the visitors who went close with a shot from 20 yards just going over the bar, within a minute Clark went close for City chasing a long ball narrowly put his shot wide.
The only other chance of note was just before half time City's Brazillian loan player Branco had a clear chance to score but delayed his shot too long and the chance was lost.
City started quickly in the second half McKenna and Swarbrick going close before Wilson's free kick rattled the bar, as with the first half Wakefield clawed their way back into the game and began too lokkk dangerous although they never looked like scoring.
Wakefield then decided to shut up shop started to waste time and look quite happy to settle for a point. Tedium ensued only broken by a Swarbrick effort which found the arms of the keeper.
Then with three minutes to go Wakefield scored the winner, a corner was cleared to Clarke whose shot cum chip went over City's keeper's head and into the net. (0-1)
City threw men forward in the final minutes but Wakefield survived without alarm
