Newport County are off to Wembley despite losing 4-3 (aet) to Forest Green on Sunday in one of the most extraordinary play-off semi-final second legs ever.
The Exiles, who entered the contest with a two-goal advantage from the first leg, needed extra-time to get through after Forest Green got back into the tie with a 4-2 win at the end of 90 minutes.
With a penalty shootout looming, Nicky Maynard scored a dramatic late goal in the 119th minute to send the Welsh side to Wembley (6-5 on aggregate).
Newport will now face Morecambe in the League Two play-off final on Monday May 31 at 3pm, after the Shrimps booked their place at the Wembley showpiece with a 1-1 draw against Tranmere (which earned them a 3-2 aggregate win).
