Karlan Grant's late goal off the bench was enough to give Huddersfield Town a win over Greuther Furth.

Huddersfield Town's second string were given the chance to impress in Town's second friendly of the day against the same opposition, with many of the players who started regularly last season having played for an hour in the earlier game.

Josh Koroma produced the best chance of the first half on 26 minutes, beating his marker and bursting through the middle to go through on goal and force a good low save out of the Furth goalkeeper.

But an Elias Kachunga cut-in from the left aside, that was the only real opportunity of the half for either side, with Furth dominating the territory but largely unable to get through the Town back line that had Jon Stankovic and academy youngster Rarmani Edmonds-Green at its heart.

The only time they did manage that was shortly after the break, with Benedikt Zahn muscling past Stankovic and putting a powerful drive just over Ryan Schofield's crossbar.

With so many new players in the side, there was understandably a lack of cohesion about the side, particularly with the connections between the midfield and the front line and the wing partnerships on both flanks.

Just as with the morning session, Jan Siewert made wholesale changes to the side early in the second half, with the side that started the morning session - minus goalkeeper Joel Coleman - all taking to the field once more.

That unsurprisingly led to Town seeing more of the ball and the opposition half, with Adama Diakhaby and again Lewis O'Brien looking good as Town looked to push forward.

There were also some frustrations from the first-string, with Alex Pritchard and Siewert both expressing their irritation at some refereeing decisions - indicating how keen Town are to use this pre-season to get into winning ways as well as to bring up their levels of fitness and tactical familiarity.

The best chance of the game to that point came and went 11 minutes from time, with Diakhaby and Hadergjonaj continuing their good combination from the morning friendly to work the ball into the box for a Pritchard chance - but the winger's shot curled not too far away from the top corner.

But Grant made no mistake from another ball from the right nine minutes from time, with Diakhaby's good work sparking a defensive mix-up that allowed the striker a simple finish.

Terence Kongolo almost doubled the lead with the seconds ticking down from a Town corner won from a deflected Diakhaby shot, with the Dutch defender hitting the outside of the post from point blank range.

Town starting lineup (4-3-3): Ryan Schofield; Herbert Bockhorn (Moses Makasi 28), Jon Stankovic, Rarmani Edmonds-Green, Jaden Brown; Matty Daly, Juninho Bacuna, Reece Brown; Elias Kachunga, Josh Koroma, Rajiv van La Parra
