SE Dons v AFC Greenwich Borough

 

Zak Ansah delivered pure late-night heartbreak for AFC Greenwich Borough, snatching a dramatic 90th-minute winner as SE Dons edged the defining First Division clash at the Bauvill.

The night exploded into life early when Abel Vendrells fired Borough ahead inside six minutes, setting the tone for what quickly felt like the biggest non-league game of 2026. The Dons regrouped and found their way back just before the interval, Jordan Green levelling things up to send both sides in locked at 1-1.

Momentum swung again on the hour when Palace Francis was dismissed, leaving the Dons to dig in with ten men and Borough sensing their moment. But just as the contest appeared destined for a share of the spoils, Ansah pounced. Pressing high, he robbed the Borough goalkeeper on the edge of the box and coolly rolled home a winner that sent the Bauvill into chaos.

In front of a crowd of 624 — with many more glued to the live stream — SE Dons not only took the points, but opened up a commanding nine-point lead at the top of the table. Anyone watching, in person or online, got their money’s worth.
