Newcaslte and Brighton & Holve Albion were the first two teams in the English Championship to qualify for the Premier League in 2017-2018 when they topped their division. The confrontation between Huddersfield Town and Reading will determine the last team to be promoted.
With the importance of this match, the two teams played very cautiously in the first half. The Wembley audience did not witness many shots by the players on the pitch.
The game in the second half did not have much difference compared to the first 45 minutes. Huddersfield Town and Reading are both waiting for the opportunity to make the decisive blow. However, the accuracy of the finishing is very low when each team only has 1 shot on target in the official 90 minutes.
The match had to enter 2 extra periods after a 0-0 draw in 90 minutes. However, in the 30 minutes of the two extra periods, the dangerous opportunity that could be converted into a goal almost did not appear. Huddersfield Town and Reading were forced to settle for the penalty shootout.
In this "match-to-match" series, while Lowe was the only player of Huddersfield Town who failed to do it, Moore and Obita were the two players who did not bring joy to Reading fans.
Schindler's precise kick in the 5th start of Huddersfield Town sealed a 4-3 victory in the penalty shootout for this team. Thereby, they have a ticket to play in the Premier League that is estimated to be worth about 185 million pounds.
This is the first time Huddersfield Town have returned to the top flight since 2012. From now on, the board and members of this team will have to take the best preparations for the harsh 2017-2018 Premier League season.
While Huddersfield Town, Newcastle United and Brighton & Holve Albion are the three new players for the upcoming season, in the opposite direction, Sunderland, Hull City and Middlesbrough are the three names that have been relegated after the 2016 2017 Premier League ended.
