Iron Promoted To League Championship

At London:

Scunthorpe United came back from a one-goal deficit to defeat Millwall 3-2 to win the final of England's League One promotion playoffs and gain promotion back to the League Championship (where they are returning after a one-year stint in the Third Division). Matthew Sparrow scored twice (6', 70') and Martyn Woolford added the promotion winner (85') for the Iron, while Gary Alexander scored both goals (37', 39') for the defeated Lions.

Scunthorpe United will join Leicester City and Peterborough United in joining the second level of English soccer from League One.
