How to perform LEFT JOIN on the first matching row only

I am performing LEFT JOIN on two tables and below are their representative layouts.

Inside my LEFT TABLE I have multiple rows for a given Key, and on my RIGHT TABLE I have only one row for the same Key.

Now I want my result such that in my resultant table, for a given Key match only the first row in my LEFT TABLE is populated with the Value (as per the image below).

Thanks

@tanmay_bhardwaj 
Add addition column in LEFT table with condition 

AutoNumber(RecNo(),Col 3) as Col 4

then create string in left table like 

Col 3 & Col 4 as Connection_String

and create same string in Right Table 

Col 3 & '1' as Connection_String

Left Join based on Connection_String and you are done
