Lyle Taylor and Adebayo Akinfenwa fired AFC Wimbledon into Sky Bet League One for the first time as they beat Plymouth 2-0 in the League Two play-off final at Wembley. Fourteen years after the original Wimbledon was moved to Milton Keynes, Neal Ardleys men booked their place in Englands third highest league, setting up a meeting with rivals MK Dons and completing a remarkable rise from their ninth-tier start in 2002.In a game that produced few chances, it took until the 78th minute for Taylor to make the breakthrough as he slotted the ball past Argyle goalkeeper Luke McCormick. Adebayo Akinfenwa sealed Wimbledons promotion to League 1 with a penalty in stoppage time With several minutes of injury time added on, Wimbledon were awarded a penalty with almost the final kick of the game which Akinfenwa powered home after a heated discussion with regular penalty taker Callum Kennedy.It was Wimbledon who went closest in the opening exchanges, and it came from a free-kick as the ball was lofted into the back post with Taylor waiting eight yards out, but he couldnt get the touch to take it past McCormick. AFC Wimbledon have been promoted to League 1 after beating Plymouth 2-0 And while Plymouth had seen the better of the ball, it was the Dons who continued to create the better chances and did so twice in quick succession with McCormick again smothering the danger from Taylor before Paul Robinson just hit wide after Tom Elliott headed into his path.The Pilgrims could only muster half-chances during the first 45 minutes as Jake Jervis tried to get a shot away but could only see it blocked by Darius Charles. The defender was there again to keep out a fine cross from Gregg Wylde that was seeking out the quiet Jamille Matt. AFC Wimbledon manager Neal Ardley praised his team’s performance after they secured promotion McCormick was certainly the busier of the two goalkeepers and was called into action again six minutes before the break as Kennedy found some space around 30 yards out and rifled an effort towards goal - but the goalkeeper held strongly.Wimbledon came racing out of the traps in the second half and could have had a fortuitous early goal as Plymouth defender Carl McHugh sent a looping pass back to his goalkeeper that nearly went into the bottom corner, before Elliott twice headed wide as the Dons searched to break the deadlock.

Graham Carey delivered the set-pieces, seeing his first saved by Kelle Roos before Peter Harley nodded the second into the ground and ultimately into the safe hands of the Dons stopper.Wimbledon made the breakthrough 12 minutes from time and it was semi-final extra-time goalscorer Taylor who got onto the end of a delightful Kennedy cross, flicking it into the bottom corner and sending the Dons fans into raptures, whipping off his shirt in the celebrations. Taylor celebrates scoring his sides first goal of the game It could have been an instant second as Jake Reeves powered down the right flank and squared the ball to Barry Fuller. The captain took on the shot but McCormick was instantly down to make the save with his legs. Fan favourite Akinfenwa also went close as he rose to meet Taylors cross, but the Plymouth goalkeeper was there to make a fine one-handed save before Taylor chipped a one-on-one shot straight into McCormicks arms. Adebayo Akinfenwa scores from the penalty spot Plymouth had a penalty appeal turned down in the dying minutes as Craig Tanner went down in the box under pressure from Dannie Bulman, but the referee waved away the claims.However, Wimbledon were awarded a spot kick in the dying seconds as Ade Azeez went down in the box, with Akinfenwa stepping up after a heated discussion with Kennedy as to who should take it.

With their 1-0 victory at Texas on Monday night, the Pirates clinched their first winning season since 1992. But victory No. 82 was really just another step toward their goal of getting into the playoffs. "Its going to touch a lot of people on a lot of different levels. We are aware of it," Hurdle said. "Everybodys here for a reason, and thats to knock down things we havent done in a long time." Before rookie right-hander Gerrit Cole (7-7) threw seven scoreless innings with a career-high nine strikeouts to win a pitchers duel against Yu Darvish, the Pirates hadnt had a winning season in more than two decades -- since the last of their three consecutive NL championship series appearances under manager Jim Leyland. Their last post-season before that was the 1979 World Series championship team. "We dont really understand what the fans have been through. I know it definitely puts a smile on their face when they see that No. 82 up there," Cole said. "Were extremely happy to be able to make them feel like weve got a winning team out there. But weve got a few weeks ahead and those are going to be some real big games." Pittsburgh had lost a season-high four games in a row since getting their 81st victory last Tuesday at Milwaukee. The Pirates (82-61) didnt get a runner to second base against Darvish (12-8) until Marlon Byrds two-out double in the seventh. He came home when Pedro Alvarez, mired in a 5-for-41 slump over 12 games, followed with a double. They finally have their winning season after taking the opener of a three-game interleague series between wild-card leaders. "Its a huge deal for me. It certainly thrills me to be a part of that," said Pirates hitting coach Jay Bell, the shortstop on that 1992 team. "I understand the significance of this game, the 82nd win, more than probably at least most of the players here," said second baseman Neil Walker, the teams first-round pick in 2004. "As big as this win is for the city of Pittsburgh and the organization, and as big a deal as the media is going to make out of it, we still have a lot of baseball to play. Weve got a lot of games we need to win, were in a tight race." The Pirates moved within a game of NL Central-leading St.dddddddddddd Louis, which swept Pittsburgh in three games over the weekend. Texas lost for the fourth time in five games, and still needs one more win to clinch its fifth consecutive winning season. The Rangers dropped two games behind idle AL West-leading Oakland. Darvish is 0-3 his last five starts, all Rangers losses. The Japanese right-hander struck out six while allowing one run and four hits over seven innings. He threw a season-low 81 pitches before coming out because of cramping in his right leg. Manager Ron Washington said the move was precautionary. "We needed him to step up and he stepped up tonight, he really threw the ball well, he moved the ball around well, he kept it down in the zone, he did a good job," Washington said. "Hes in great shape. Its just something that flared up. If thats all thats wrong with him, and the way he pitched out there tonight, Ill take it." Cole got out of a self-induced jam in the sixth after consecutive walks to Elvis Andrus and Alex Rios, his only walks in the game. Andrus got his 38th career stolen base -- the Rangers pulled off a double steal when Rios reached before Adrian Beltre grounded out. "The sixth inning could have gotten out of hand," Cole said. "I was just able to get the ball down on them." Tony Watson pitched a perfect eighth, his 14th consecutive scoreless outing. Mark Melancon worked the ninth for his 12th save in 14th chances to close out Pittsburghs 16th shutout of the season. The Rangers said Darvish started feeling the cramps during the seventh. There was a short delay after the Rangers took the field in the eighth before Tanner Scheppers came out of the bullpen. "Its minor," Washington said. "No level of concern." NOTES: It was the 14th 1-0 game ever at Rangers Ballpark, which is in its 20th season. It was the second this season, both Rangers losses. ... Pirates CF Andrew McCutchen had a leadoff triple in the ninth. He was thrown out trying to score on Justin Morneaus chopper to second baseman Ian Kinsler. ... Rangers LF Jim Adduci left the game after his at-bat in the fifth inning, when he sustained a right biceps strain while striking out. ... Darvish upped his major league-leading strikeout total to 246. ... Beltre was 1 for 22 over six games before his two-out single in the ninth. ' ' '
