Terriers Win Penalty Kick Shootout With Cherries To Reach Promotion Playoff Final

At Huddersfield, England:


After a 2-2 draw in match two of their two-game English League One promotion  playoff semifinal series, home standings Huddersfield Town and AFC Bournemouth stood deadlocked at 3-3 on aggregate with no away goals rule.  Danny Ings put the visiting Cherries ahead with his overtime goal at 104 minutes, only to see the Terriers' Antony Kay equalize one minute later, sending the series into a penalty-kick shootout.  Lee Novak, Daniel Ward, Kevin Kilbane, and, with the series winner, Antony Kay, all converted their spot kicks, enabling Huddersfield Town to win the shootout 4-3.  The Terriers will face the Milton Keynes Dons-Peterborough United winner on May 29 at Old Trafford in Manchester, England, with the winner joining already-promoted Brighton & Hove Albion and Southampton in the League Championship next season.
