With chances for Mo Eisa, Daniel Harvie and Bradley Johnson in the first-half, Dons could have been high and dry before Jevani Brown opened the scoring on 37 minutes from the penalty spot.
More chances came and went in the second period before Brown doubled the lead on 67 minutes to leave Dons teetering back on the brink of the League One drop zone, out of the bottom four on goal difference.
