Adebayo Akinfenwa and Adebayo Azeez helped AFC Wimbledon record a 1-0 win over Accrington Stanley in the Football League Two playoff semifinal, Game 1 on Saturday night.

Both strikers started on the bench at Cherry Red Records Fans Stadium, Akinfenwa was introduced in the 59th minute before the 22-year-old Azeez joined him on the pitch 18 minutes later.

On 89 minutes, Akinfenwa was close to bagging a winner for The Dons but hit the woodwork with a drive while his earlier effort in the 74th minute was deflected for a corner.

In injury time, substitute Tom Beere scored the only goal of the game following a goal mouth scramble.

The second leg comes up on Wednesday night at the Store First Stadium in Lancashire.
