The turning point arrived in the 13th minute when Kai Jennings put AFC Wimbledon ahead with an unmarked finish from close range. The lead was doubled five minutes into the second half as Trialist B converted from a central position, giving Charlton a two-goal mountain to climb. The visitors pushed for a response but found no way through a disciplined home defence.
