Wed 12 May.

Cardiff advanced to the Championship play-off final against Blackpool at Wembley after a penalty shoot-out win.
Goalkeeper David Marshall was Cardiff's penalty hero saving twice as the Bluebirds beat Leicester 4-3 on spot-kicks after a 3-3 aggregate draw.

Michael Chopra struck first before Matt Fryatt, a Mark Hudson own goal and Andy King put Leicester ahead overall.
Peter Whittingham's penalty levelled it before Leicester's Yann Kermorgant and Martyn Waghorn missed in the shoot-out.

Bruno Berner, Steve Howard and Nolberto Solano had scored in the penalty shoot-out for the Foxes while Michael Chopra, Ross McCormack and Joe Ledley had kept their cool for Cardiff.

But Kermorgant was Leicester's villain as the French 28-year-old chose the wrong time to try a cheeky chip, Marshall standing tall to save.

Mark Kennedy fired in from 12 yards for the Bluebirds before Scottish international Marshall kept out Waghorn to leave Cardiff 90 minutes from the Premier League and an estimated £90m jackpot.

The Bluebirds will hope to end their 48-year top-flight exile against Blackpool - relegated from the old Division One in 1971 - at Wembley on 22 May and play a side that has also not starred in the Premier League since its inception in 1992.
