Midfielder Antoni Sarcevic fired Argyle into a 57th minute lead after the game opened up against Colchester.
Home playmaker Danny Mayor put substitute Dom Telford in on goal and in turn he set up Sarcevic (pictured) to fire home from the right into the left corner.
After a goalless first half both sides had opportunities to break the deadlock as the second half started at pace.
Colchester striker Luke Norris forced a diving save from Argyle’s on-loan West Bromwich Albion shot stopper Alex Palmer, keeping a clean sheet on his home league bow for the greens... and his 23rd birthday.
At the other end Mayor just failed to connect with Joe Riley’s pacy cross from the right.
In an identical counter attack Tom Lapslie just failed to connect with Kane Vincent-Young’s cross from the right.
Again Argyle countered with Callum McFadzean releasing livewire Telford down the left and the substitute’s powerful drive beat keeper Dean Gerken but smashed off the post.
