After scandal, Hull City wins in the end and guarantees access to the Premier League

In a match decided in the final minutes, Hull City beat Middlesbrough 1-0, this Saturday (23), at Wembley Stadium, and guaranteed access to the next edition of the Premier League.

The goal that guaranteed the Tigres' victory in the Championship playoffs, the second division of English football, was scored by Oli McBurnie, at the 50-minute mark of the second half.

Before the game, the dispute was marked by the exclusion of Southampton, who had beaten Middlesbrough in the semi-final, but ended up being eliminated by the English Football League (EFL) for having spied on the training of some teams in the competition.

With the result, Hull City returns to the national elite after 10 years, as it has not competed in the Premier League since the 2016/17 season. Boro, in turn, has not been part of the elite for a decade and will try to gain new access from the second half of this year.

The goal of the match
In stoppage time of the final stage, Japanese winger Yu Hirakawa made a beautiful move from the left and crossed into the area. Goalkeeper Solomon Brynn was unable to clear the danger and center forward Oli McBurnie took the opportunity to put the ball in the net.
