Aiden OBrien and Ryan Leonard spurned chances to double the Lions’ lead in the second-half as Wimbledon struggled to create clear-cut opportunities against Neil Harris’ side.It is the end of the road for the Dons, who pulled off a massive cup upset by beating West Ham 4-2 in the previous round.Meanwhile, Millwall will be hoping for better luck in the quarter-finals next month after losing 6-0 to Tottenham in 2017.Despite being rooted to the bottom of League One, Wally Downes’ men started this tie with plenty of zest after overturning the Hammers.It was not Wimbledon’s day3

They really should have taken the lead just a few minutes in when Shane McLoughlin’s purposeful run down the right was followed by a sumptuous cross which was glanced off the post by top scorer Joe Pigott.The underdogs were made to pay moments later, when Leonard drove down the wing and his delightful delivery was met by a thumping header by Wallace which had AFC Wimbledon goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale snatching at thin air.To their credit, the home side did not allow their heads to drop, but their lack of a cutting edge indicated why they are languishing at the foot of the third tier.Millwall are just one game away from Wembley3

Going into the break, the only effort on target had been the goal and Downes seized the initiative by bringing on Andy Barcham for Tyler Garratt.The former Portsmouth winger was already offering more of an outlet, but with around 55 minutes on the clock, Millwall could have doubled their advantage. Lee Gregory’s run was picked out and the Lions’ top scorer held up the ball before laying off to the onrushing O’Brien, whose effort was clawed away by Ramsdale. The game was starting to become far more open and Wallace’s hanging cross was headed wide by Jake Cooper at the far post, before the hosts thought referee Jon Moss had awarded them a penalty when Barcham was clipped when attempting to reach the loose ball, however, he was offside.As Wimbledon started to throw more caution to the wind, they were leaving more spaces at the back, with Ramsdale having to be alert as both Gregory and Leonard looked to put the tie to bed.As the game reached the first minute of stoppage time, Jed Wallace burst through and was about to pull the trigger before a thundering challenge by Mitchell Pinnock.
