Non-league Halifax and Maidstone failed to join National League rivals Solihull Moors in the hat for the FA Cup third round.
Halifax missed early chances as they lost 3-1 to League Two AFC Wimbledon while Maidstone went down 2-0 at home to Oldham.
Solihull had already confirmed their place in Monday’s third-round draw after their goalless draw with Blackpool on Friday night.
Things might have been different if Matty Kosylo had not rattled the post for Halifax in the 19th minute of their game at The Shay.
Wimbledon withstood the early pressure and snatched the lead through Ben Purrington’s deflected effort just before the break.
Two goals in three minutes midway through the second half from Anthony Wordsworth and Joe Pigott sealed Wimbledon’s win, before a late James Hanson own goal gave Halifax some consolation.
