      Bromley made history by clinching their first promotion to the EFL as they beat Solihull Moors 4-3 on penalties after a 2-2 draw in extra-time at Wembley.

      The Ravens had the better start and broke the deadlock just before half-time through their top scorer Michael Cheek.

      Moors responded swiftly, levelling the score three minutes into the second half through Joe Sbarra.

      Cheek doubled Bromley's lead on the hour mark from the penalty spot after being fouled in the box. 

      However, Solihull's captain Jamey Osborne struck back shortly after to equalise once more, leading the match into extra-time.

      Despite Bromley's efforts, including Alex Kirk hitting the woodwork twice in extra-time, the play-off final headed for a penalty shootout for the second consecutive year.

      Bromley keeper Grant Smith saved the first two penalties from Tyrese Shade and Joss Labadie, while Nick Hayes denied Ashley Charles in the second penalty.

      No one missed after that and Bromley skipper Byron Webster stepped up to convert his side’s last penalty, securing their promotion to League Two.

      Wow, what a game! Proud to be a Bromley fan right now. We fought hard and made history with our first promotion to the EFL. Cheek and Smith were both fantastic in the match and the penalty shootout was intense. Excited for what's to come in the upcoming season.

      Congrats to Bromley on their EFL promotion! What a nail-biting match, but Cheek's goals and Smith's saves secured the win in the end. Proud to be a fan

      As a football fan, I am absolutely gutted by the disappointing end to the match. The back and forth game had me on the edge of my seat, but the eventual penalty shootout just leaves a sense of disillusionment. Heartbreaking to see Bromley come so close to victory, only to fall short in the end. Congrats to Solihull though, well played.
