Ogundere’s early own goal pushed Grimsby to a winning finish

Grimsby ended their first season back in League Two with a 1-0 win against AFC Wimbledon at Blundell Park.

The only goal of the game was an own goal by Isaac Ogundere, which came early in the match, after seven minutes.

Danilo Orsi’s low cross was deflected by Ogundere into the net past goalkeeper Nathan Broome.

With this win, Grimsby finished 11th in the league table, while their opponents, who had not won in seven matches, finished in 21st place.

Chances were generally few and far between in the opening 45 minutes, though Orsi and Shaun Pearson both took aim for Grimsby before half-time.

Josh Davison forced Max Crocombe into a decent save with his half-volley shortly after the restart and the Wimbledon frontman also set his sights on the hour mark, with a powerful drive which flew past the post from 25 yards.

Grimsby went close to grabbing a second when Gavan Holohan and George Lloyd had quickfire attempts blocked in a penalty-area scramble, while Orsi glanced wide after combining with substitute Otis Khan in the closing stages.
