Bromley remain top of the table after a narrow defeat over the weekend.
The Kent club lost 2-1 away to MK Dons on April 11, in a high-stakes clash at Stadium MK, but hold a four-point lead at the summit of Sky Bet League Two.
MK Dons struck just 38 seconds into the match through Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, who capitalised on a loose ball and beat Bromley goalkeeper Grant Smith with a low finish.
Despite the early setback, Bromley defended resolutely but found themselves 2-0 down after 17 minutes when Ben Wiles finished off a quick team move.
The visitors made four changes at half-time, with Jude Arthurs, Ben Krauhaus, Ben Thompson, and Zech Medley coming on to inject fresh energy. The match tightened in the second half, and in the 74th minute, Bromley pulled a goal back.

Marcus Ifill, who scored in Bromley’s midweek win over Shrewsbury, struck from outside the box to give the visitors hope.
They pushed hard for an equaliser, with Zech Medley delivering a dangerous cross that nearly found Nicke Kabamba or Mitch Pinnock, but both were denied by a crucial save from Craig MacGillivray.
Moments later, Bromley’s appeals for a penalty were turned down by referee Will Finnie after it appeared Krauhaus had been fouled in the box.
Jude Arthurs then forced another good stop from MacGillivray, and late substitute George Evans was thrown in during stoppage time as Bromley searched for a second.
Despite sustained late pressure, Andy Woodman’s side could not find a way through, and the final whistle confirmed a 2-1 defeat.
It was a disappointing result, but one that Woodman’s men will have little time to dwell on. They remain top on 83 points, four ahead of MK Dons. Next up is another crucial fixture.
Bromley will host Cambridge United at the CopperJax Community Stadium on Thursday, with kick-off set for 8pm.
