Aidan Ackah-Sanzah saw a shot go too high, then Jacob Williamson’s effort was deflected for a corner and Moore fired over the top before the break.
There was still time for Cole to pull off a fine save to deny a free-kick right on half-time.
On 69 minutes Dynamos put the game to bed. Abu Khan raced down the right wing and pinged a cross to the back post where Moore arrived to score his first goal for the club.
