Ivan Toney scored a 78th-minute winner as Scunthorpe claimed victory over a Fleetwood side who had battled back from two goals down to level with only 10 men in 2018.
Josh Morris struck twice to put the Iron in charge, his second from the penalty spot after Ash Eastham was sent off after being adjudged to have handled the ball.
Fleetwood managed to draw level with goals from Ashley Hunter and Bobby Grant, only to end up empty-handed as Toney earned Scunthorpe boss Graham Alexander his first-ever win over his former employers.
