Preston North End got their second win of the season as they beat Coventry City 1-0 at the Coventry Building Society Stadium.
Alvaro Fernandez also came into the squad for the first time since the Carabao Cup win over Huddersfield Town where he picked up an ankle injury.
Woodburn headed at goal from a corner after 20 minutes but narrowly missed the target and Robbie Brady cut inside to shoot a minute later but it flashed past the far post. Then came the most controversial moment of the first half, Troy Parrott ran through at goal and poked the ball past Wilson who had come out of his area, and brought down the Irishman. Referee John Busby took his time before producing a yellow card, despite the PNE striker seemingly having a tap in should he not have been felled.
But it was the 73rd minute where PNE found their way through, the introduction of Riis and Fernandez the catalyst for it. The Dane had seen a shot turned away just moments earlier, trying to lob the ball over the 'keeper from close range, but he found the net second time around. It came from a shot by Parrott, striking on his left foot from the left side of the box, it was blocked into the path of Riis who made no mistake.
