AFC Wimbledon took a 1-0 win over Wigan Athletic in League One, Myles Hippolyte's 88th-minute goal settling a match Wigan had largely controlled. Wimbledon defended stubbornly and made their one clear opening count, while Wigan's wastefulness proved costly.
Wigan had the better chances throughout, and the game remained goalless into the closing stages. The decisive moment arrived in the 88th minute, when Myles Hippolyte scored from Donnell McNeilly's assist to give Wimbledon the lead. Wigan could not find an equaliser in the time remaining.
The numbers underline how it happened: Wigan had 57 per cent possession, 14 shots, six big chances and an expected-goals figure of 2.75, yet failed to score. Wimbledon, with 43 per cent possession and two shots on target, took the one chance that mattered, and their goalkeeper made five saves.
