League One Playoffs (England): Robins One Win Away From Promotion To League Championship After PK Shootout Thriller

At London:

Daniel Ward's goal at 74 minutes enabled Swindon Town to level their two-match series with Charlton Athletic at 3-3 on aggregate, even though the Addicks took the second game 2-1 in regulation.  After 30 scoreless overtime minutes, Jon-Paul McGovern, Charlie Austin, Kevin Amenkwaah, Daniel Ward, and Stephen Darby each made his penalty kick as the visiting Robins took the shootout 5-4.  The Robins will battle the Huddersfield Town-Millwall winner at London's Wembley Stadium on May 29 in the final for the right to play next season in the League Championship, joining already-promoted Norwich City and Leeds United.
