Rochdale secure EFL promotion with penalty shootout win against Boreham Wood
Rochdale produced a dramatic late fightback from 2-0 down to clinch promotion back to the EFL with a penalty shoot-out victory over Boreham Wood.
The Wood looked set for glory in the Enterprise National League play-off final at Wembley after striking in each half through Matt Rush and the lively Abdul Abdulmalik.
Dale, who were denied automatic promotion in heartbreaking fashion on the final day of the regular season, pulled one back in the 78th minute through Tyler Smith and Mani Dieseruvwe’s header made it 2-2 deep into stoppage time.
Neither side could find a winner in extra time but Rochdale prevailed 3-1 on penalties after goalkeeper Oliver Whatmuff, on loan from Manchester City, saved from Callum Reynolds and Rush before Cameron Coxe hit the crossbar.
