AFC Wimbledon's pre-season preparations continued with a 2-0 loss to Brentford in a behind-closed-doors friendly at the Gtech Community Stadium. The League One outfit struggled to contain the Bees, with Mathias Jensen scoring the opening goal just before the half-hour mark. Jensen received the ball in a central area and jinked his way past three AFC Wimbledon players, before firing a shot through the goalkeeper from the edge of the penalty area. The hosts kept the ball well throughout the opening stages, with Gustavo Nunes and Romelle Donovan causing problems for the AFC Wimbledon defense. AFC Wimbledon's Nathan Bishop was forced to make a number of saves, including a good stop from a close-range attempt. The League One side had a couple of chances of their own before half-time, but were unable to capitalize on them. After a quiet start to the second half, the Bees doubled their lead on 70 minutes, with Myles Peart-Harris volleying home from close range. The Brazilian winger continued to look dangerous with his positive dribbling, which won the west Londoners a free-kick on the edge of the area as the game came to a close. AFC Wimbledon's manager will be looking to work on his team's defense ahead of the new season, after conceding two goals to a strong Brentford side. The loss will be a valuable learning experience for the team, as they look to improve their performance in League One. The match was a good test for AFC Wimbledon, who will be looking to push on from their recent performances. The team will be looking to bounce back from the loss, with a number of tough matches coming up in the near future.
