Jefferson Louis grabbed his fifth goal in as many appearances to fire Woking to victory over Exeter at Kingfield.

The on-loan striker struck in the seventh minute, slamming the ball home after Nixon Ajoge had crossed from the right.

It meant the Cardinals leapfrogged their opponents in the table.

It was a deserved victory as Exeter carved out only one clear-cut chance when Steve Flack's header was saved by Ashley Bayes.

Louis went close to a second goal for Woking but fired over and Steve Ferguson had an effort blocked on the line.
