The game at the Stadium of Light was tense and emotional. Coventry were the sharper side and opened the scoring in the 76th minute through Ephron Mason-Clark. Sunderland then pressed forward, but were met with a resolute defence.

It wasn't until the last minute of extra time (120+2) that center-back Daniel Ballard became the hero with a header, keeping the home team's hopes of promotion alive.

With this result, Sunderland will face Sheffield United in the play-off final on May 24 at Wembley - a match worth hundreds of millions of pounds. Previously, Burnley and Leeds won the two direct promotion spots.

Sheffield United are determined to return to the Premier League after just one season away, while Sunderland dream of returning after nearly 10 years in the lower leagues. The confrontation promises to be dramatic, ending an emotional Championship season.
