The third-round tie moved to Newcastle
Wimbledon lost 1–0 at Newcastle on 1 October 2024 in a rearranged third-round tie. The match had originally been a Dons home fixture, but torrential rain left their pitch unplayable and the game was switched to St James' Park.
Fabian Schar converted a penalty in first-half stoppage time after Joe Pigott's challenge on Miguel Almiron. That was the only goal. Wimbledon kept Newcastle from adding to their lead, but could not find an equaliser to extend the run.
The official Newcastle report confirms both the changed venue and the match outcome. It is a useful reminder to check the final fixture details when following a cup draw: the club drawn at home and the ground eventually used were different in this case. The October date also separates this rearranged tie from the Dons' August victories.
Goodman responded to Ipswich's late equaliser
Ipswich visited on 28 August and took an early lead through former Wimbledon forward Ali Al-Hamadi. Omar Bugiel equalised before half-time, and Mathew Stevens put the Dons 2–1 ahead. Conor Chaplin's late goal then made it 2–2 and sent the tie to penalties.
Owen Goodman became the decisive figure in the shoot-out, saving from Jack Taylor and Omari Hutchinson. Isaac Ogundere converted the winning kick as Wimbledon prevailed 4–2 on penalties. Sky's report sets those saves against the disappointment of the late equaliser, giving the goalkeeper's evening a particularly dramatic finish.
The full result needs both parts: a 2–2 match and a 4–2 shoot-out victory. For supporters looking back at the highlights, the turning points are not limited to the penalties. Bugiel and Stevens had already reversed the opening deficit, making this another comeback before the final contest from the spot.
