Mousinho secured the win from the spot after McGrath felled Darren Murphy.
MANAGER QUOTES
Burton manager Paul Peschisolido told BBC Radio Derby:
"It's a horrible thing to say, but it's luck.
"We shot ourselves in the foot by conceding a goal in the first five minutes, but again, goalkeeper Adam Legzdins has had nothing to do all afternoon. I thought the defenders defended superbly well, and we lose 2-0.
"We've had chances, we've had half-chances, and nothing is falling for us. Absolutely nothing."
Stevenage manager Graham Westley told BBC Three Counties Radio:
"Winning is winning, isn't it? Whether it's ugly or not it's still three points.
"Those three points are as attractive to me as any three points we win.
"It was a tremendous start, we took the game to them and it was fantastic to get the early goal."
