On May 14, in the second leg of the semi-finals of the English Championship playoffs, Sunderland played against Coventry at home. The two teams fought fiercely for 120 minutes in this game. In the end, Sunderland staged a final victory and eliminated his opponent with a total score of 3-2, and advanced to the finals with his head held high. In the first leg, Coventry lost 1-2 to Sunderland at home. This time, they must win to have a chance to turn the tables. Lampard's team tried his best and almost staged a miracle. In the 76th minute, Coventry, who was attacking wildly in the game, finally broke the deadlock on the court. The away team made a cross from the right, and Clark at the back point ran to the point and finally pushed the ball to score. Coventry led 1-0, and the two sides drew 2-2 in total. The score on the field did not change again after that, and I had to enter overtime. In the overtime game, the scene continued to be stalemate, just when everyone thought the game had to rely on penalty kicks to determine the outcome, the goal happened. In the 122nd minute, Sunderland opened a corner kick into the penalty area, Ballard at the front point jumped, and then headed the ball towards the goal, the ball hit the lower edge of the crossbar, and finally bounced into the goal. This header also helped Sunderland win the finals, and in the end they eliminated their opponents with a total score of 3-2 and successfully reached the final. After the game ended, Sunderland players and coaches celebrated with the fans on the scene, while the Coventry player who was defeated was dejected and Lampard was extremely disappointed. Their year of efforts were wasted on the night. As of now, the top two in the Champions League playoff finals have been born. Sunderland will next face Sheffield United (eliminate Bristol City with a total score of 6-0). The winners of both sides will be upgraded with Leeds United and Burnley to compete in the Premier League next season. The final of the

English Championship play-offs is also regarded as the most valuable game in the world, because the winners of this game will not only get a Premier League seat, but they will also receive at least £100 million in broadcast share next season. Even if they are unfortunately relegated, they will make a lot of money, which is why the English Championship teams are desperately trying to upgrade.

In the English Championship this season, Sunderland and Sheffield United each won one game. It can be foreseeable that in the next final, I believe that the two teams will be very cautious. With almost the difference in strength, any mistake may lead to their missed promotion. Both Sunderland and Sheffield United have performed very well this season, and they are worthy of this upgrade place. We will wait and see what the final result will be!
