League Two Playoff Final: Gillingham 1 - 0 Shrewsbury
It looked like this final was destined for extra time, as neither team had managed to score going into the final minutes of normal time. But Gillingham won a corner kick in the 90th minute, and took advantage. Simeon Jackson headed in Joshua Wright's corner kick to win the match and earn Gillingham a spot in League One next season. Replays suggested that it should have been a goal kick instead of a corner, but Gillingham won't care. In fairness, they were probably the better side over the course of the match. Winning the playoff final means that the Gills have bounced straight back to League One after being relegated a year ago. A tough luck ending for Shrewsbury, but congratulations to Gillingham.
