The visitors went ahead on the half-hour mark through Kelvin Mellor but their advantage was rubbed out by Angus MacDonald three minutes after the restart, ultimately taking the game into extra time.
Osayi-Samuel netted in the very last minute of stoppage time, he curled the ball home from 12 yards after the opponents failed to clear.
