WOKINGHAM & EMMBROOK climbed up a place after earning a vital victory on the road at Windsor.
The Sumas moved further away from the relegation places with just their fourth win in 23 matches.
Play was reasonably well shared into the second quarter of the first half but Wokingham tended to keep the ball for passes although the ball was lost by Windsor by intercepted passes or challenges which also happened to Sumas.
A corner kick by Sumas came close but the effort still missed and Windsor countered by making a move forward, but it was dealt with comfortably by goalkeeper Sean Woodward.
After Josh Millo was taken down in the box, Wokingham were awarded a penalty which was converted by Sam Mead.
Wokingham & Emmbrook restarted with a good run and had three attempts at goal in as many seconds, but were unable to add to their advantage.
After a free kick and a few bouts of midfield play, Windsor were pinned back and just past the hour, Joao Jardim broke the mould and scored to put the Sumas 2-0 up.
The sting of the second goal did not demoralise Windsor players at all and it motivated them for the last quarter of the game.
Windsor took a free kick but Woodward was ready and waiting, claiming the ball again. Play continued in the same manner with Windsor pushing for a goal and Sumas defending stoutly and countering whenever they could.
A final burst of energy by Windsor took the game towards full-time when with two minutes left, substitute Tajs scored a consolation goal for the hosts.
In the 89th minute Sebastian Linturn received a yellow card – the only one of the game.
Sumas hung on until the final whistle to claim three points from the efforts that they made and no dishonour to Windsor for not quite clinching a draw.
