Sam Duggan went close for Waterford but the City Campus ‘keeper Dominic Carr did well to hold the effort and then held a close range header form Cillian Thomas.
Later his opposite number in the Waterford goal Mahfous Karim was kept busy dealing with shots from Christopher Kavungu and Samuel Kennedy.
Carr was called into action early in the second half to keep out close range headers from Kavungu and Kennedy.
But it was the City Campus who struck first on the hour mark with well taken finish by Kennedy.
Minutes later the tie was level again when Cameron Gordon seized on the rebound to hammer in the equaliser after a Thomas shot was initially blocked.
After that it was nip and took but just when it looked like extra time would be required Altorok struck with his first touch of the ball to shoot home the TUD City Campus winner.
