Direct answer
- The 2019 EFL League One play-off final was Charlton Athletic vs Sunderland, played at Wembley Stadium on May 26, 2019. Charlton won 2-1 after extra time to secure promotion to the Championship.
Context and details
- The match ended 1-1 after regular time, with Charlton taking the lead through an own goal by Mouhamadou-Naby Sarr for Sunderland and Ben Purrington equalizing for Charlton before half-time. Patrick Bauer then scored the late extra-time winner for Charlton.[1][2]
- The final was notable for its dramatic late passages and the high attendance at Wembley, with reports noting over 76,000 spectators.[2][1]
- Sunderland initially led in the semi-final with an aggregate comeback against Charlton in the semi, which led to Charlton advancing to the final via penalties in that two-legged tie; the final itself extended into extra time before Charlton prevailed.[1][2]
How this fits into the broader context
- Charlton were promoted to the EFL Championship for the 2019–20 season as a result of winning the final.[5]
- The 2019 play-offs also featured Doncaster Rovers in the semi-finals, where Doncaster and Charlton progressed to the final after a dramatic semi-final; this is often cited when discussing that year's playoff narrative.[2]
