Fleetwood Town Edges Out AFC Wimbledon in Highbury Stadium Clash
Fleetwood Town secured a narrow victory over AFC Wimbledon at Highbury Stadium in Fleetwood, Lancashire on February 18th, 2025. Despite dominating possession (56%) and significantly outshooting their opponents (18 shots, 4 on target) and corners (15), the win was closer than the statistics might suggest. The League Two match, round 25 of the regular season, saw Fleetwood control the game, but AFC Wimbledon held firm, committing 15 fouls but avoiding any yellow cards. Fleetwood picked up two yellow cards, one for R. Bennett in the 15th minute and another for E. Bonds in the 77th minute. While Fleetwood’s dominance in shots and corners was clear, a lack of clinical finishing prevented a more comfortable victory. The referee for the encounter was P. Howard.
