You couldn't make it up … with eight minutes remaining of extra-time and AFC Wimbledon having fought back from two down in the match, to lead 3-2 on aggregate, two sets of floodlights at Accrington Stanley's Wham Stadium failed and plunged one side of the pitch into near darkness.
Bewildered players and management staff stood around wondering what next? Abandon the game? So close yet almost to far for the Dons. Had someone from Accrington thrown a switch to off?
But 10 minutes later the game was back on and Lyle Taylor's 104th minute equaliser for Wimbledon would book a Wembley date on 30th May against Plymouth Argyle.

It was a hard won victory against Accrington who's more skilful football looked to have triumphed over Wimbledon's no nonsense direct approach. That is until the man mountain named Adebayo Akinfenwa came on at half time. The tactics now became even more 'get it up to big man and quick', and despite being penalised almost every time he challenged for the ball, he crucially rose formidably in the 68 minute to thump a header in and get the Dons back in the contest.

Last night after scoring - blocking out the light.

  Final score:  
  Accrington Stanley 2  AFC Wimbledon 2   
  (2-3 on aggregate to AFC)
