Meridian United will play their first continental final in nineteen years after a 94th-minute header settled a semi-final that had spent seventy-eight minutes refusing to produce a goal.
The tie finished 2-1 on the night and 3-2 on aggregate, a scoreline that undersells how comprehensively United controlled the second half.
Eleven shots on target across the two legs had yielded nothing until the 78th minute, when a deflection finally beat a goalkeeper who had otherwise been the best player on the pitch.
United's manager described the performance afterwards as "the most patient we have been all season," a remark that read less like praise than relief.
The final is scheduled for the 22nd.
