The final round of the season in the English Fifth League witnessed incredible and dramatic moments that will go down in football history. The Rochdale football team hosted their direct rival York City in their own stadium for the championship.
Idman.Biz reports that the 90 minutes of the tense match held at "Crown Oil Arena" ended in a goalless draw.

This goal brought the team very close to the championship and direct promotion to the Second League. Hundreds of fans rushed to the field to celebrate the goal with the players.
Since the removal of fans from the field and the resumption of the game caused a significant loss of time, the referee continued the match. In the 103rd (90+13) minute of the match, York City's footballer Josh Stones equalized the score, shocking the home team.
Thanks to this draw, York City, which reached 108 points, formalized its championship and returned to the English Football League. Rochdale, which finished the season in second place with 106 points, kept its promotion chance to the play-off stage.
