Stevenage returned to the League One play-off positions with a battling 1-0 win over AFC Wimbledon, settled by a Jamie Reid penalty inside the opening 10 minutes.
Reid's fourth goal in five matches was enough to fire Boro up to fifth, with none of their main rivals able to match their three points.
An Early Spot-Kick Settles It
A foul on Carl Piergianni gave Stevenage a first-half penalty for the second time in a week. Joe Lewis tried to clear a bouncing ball but while he missed that, he connected with the Boro skipper's ankles.
