A goal from defender Paul Huntingdon saw 10-men Yeovil Town seal an important win against MK Dons.
Winger Andy Welsh crossed in from the right for Huntingdon to fire past Dons keeper David Martin in the first half.
Town could have doubled their lead when Welsh again crossed in but Sam Williams failed to connect at the back-post.
Andy Williams hit the post for the home side before JP Kalala was shown a straight red card for a foul on MK Dons midfielder Michael McIndoe late on.
Yeovil Town manager Terry Skiverton told BBC Somerset: "I'm pleased with the attitude, commitment and desire for defending, we defended as a team.
"Luke Ayling got a broken nose today, I've been crying out for someone to get a cut eye and unfortunately for him it's a broken nose but that's what it takes to win games.
"I'm trying to make a name for myself in the game and play attractive football and it's taken me until recently to talk to a couple of more experienced managers that winning is important as well and whatever formula you do have it's got to equate to trying to win games."
