Visiting midfielder Matt O’Riley saw a rasping volley deflected over, with the Dons dominating the opening stages.
Sam Cosgrove had a tame effort saved by Dons goalkeeper Andrew Fisher before the visitors carved out the best chance of the half, with Marko Marosi denying Mo Eisa from close range.
After a first-half short on goalmouth action, Whalley threatened with an effort early in the second before finding the net moments later.
He sprung the offside trap and then took his time before lashing a shot into the roof of the Dons net.
Peter Kioso missed a golden chance to get the Dons level late on as they slipped to a second defeat straight league defeat.
