Overton, who made his first-team debut at Plymouth in last week’s EFL Cup win, scored at the second attempt 6 minutes from time following a cross from transfer-listed midfielder Idris Kanu.

Overton had sent a snapshot just wide of the post moments earlier. Midway through the second-half substitute Lewis Darlington fluffed a one-on-one opportunity after being played through by Kai Corbett.

Two goals in the first 15 minutes had placed Cardiff in control.

Posh Under 21s are next in league action at home to Bristol City on Tuesday (August 23).

Posh: Laycock, Donnelly, Tonge, O’Connell, Lamb, McGlinchey, Kanu, Van Lier, Ishola, Corbett, Overton. Subs: Arthur, West, Titchmarsh, Darlington, Trialist.
