Bristol City secure Play-Off Final place
May 13, 2008
Bristol City secured their place in the Championship Play-Off final beating Crystal Palace 2-1 on the night to go through 4-2 on aggregate.
Palace put up a fight and forced the game in to extra time when Ben Watson scored from all of twenty yards with a header when there was a mix up in the Bristol defense.
It could have been all so different in the second half when Watson missed a penalty which would have put Palace ahead in the tie. Nick Carle had fouled Tom Soare in the 72nd minute but Watson struck the post from the resulting penalty.
Bristol took the game to Palace in extra time, Lee Trundle curled in a goal on 104 and the game was sealed when Michael McIndoe smashed in a free kick.
Bristol will face the winners of the Hull V Watford match which concludes tomorrow night. Hull go into the game at the KC Stadium with a two-nil lead.
