AFC Wimbledon secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Notts County, with the decisive goal coming very early in the match, at just under eight minutes. This early lead set the tone for Wimbledon, allowing them to structure their defensive play effectively thereafter. The goal was impressive given its timing, catching Notts County off guard before they had a chance to settle into the match. Despite managing only two corner kicks compared to Notts County’s one, Wimbledon capitalized on their quick start and maintained the lead throughout the game.

Notts County failed to convert their possessions into concrete goal-scoring opportunities, as evidenced by their zero offsides and fewer shots on target compared to the home team. Their inability to break through the disciplined AFC Wimbledon defense was a significant factor in their defeat. Although Notts County collected three yellow cards, indicating attempts to disrupt Wimbledon's play, their aggression did not translate into an attacking advantage. Instead, it highlighted their struggle to maintain control and discipline under pressure.

AFC Wimbledon demonstrated better teamwork and cohesion, especially in managing their defensive line despite committing two yellow-card fouls themselves. Their defensive discipline was complemented by efficient offside management, catching the opposition offside four times, and frustrating Notts County’s forwards. This tactical maturity not only stifled Notts County’s attacking efforts but also protected Wimbledon’s slender lead, showcasing a strategic depth that ultimately secured them the win.
