Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Cherry Red Records Fans' Stadium will turn into a battlefield for AFC Wimbledon and Barnsley FC.
- 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Will Nightingale suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

- 19' Cauley Woodrow puts Barnsley FC on the lead.

- 59' The AFC Wimbledon bench stirs into life. Andrew Barcham is withdrawn and Dylan Connolly gets his opportunity.
