With just two minutes played Yeovil were ahead when Jordan Maguire-Drew's effort was blocked and Murphy was there to fire in the re-bound.
Will Buse was called into action on 14 minutes when a free kick to the far post found Charlie Kennedy but his header was well saved.
The game was fairly even for the first half with both sides playing some neat football. The Yeovil defence didn't appear to be as solid as they had been in previous games and Will Buse was having to make a few routine saves when the defence didn't pressure the attack.
