Oldham Athletic will face Southend United in Wembley final..

Oldham Athletic will face Southend United in the National League play-off final at Wembley on June 1.

Latics’ opponents were decided by a penalty shoot-out, after the Shrimpers’ semi-final at Forest Green Rovers finished 2-2 after extra time.

Following a goalless first half, Southend took the lead in the 54th minute, but Ben Goodliffe’s opener was cancelled out by Ryan Inniss just after the hour.

Forest Green, who finished in third place – four places and 15 points ahead of Southend – went in front in the fourth minute of extra time through Emmanuel Osadebe and the hosts looked to be heading to Wembley. But Jack Bridge equalised in the 116th minute to force penalties.

Southend missed their first but scored the rest, and with Forest Green missing two out of four it was Kevin Maher’s men who booked their place in the final at Wembley.

Tickets for the National League play-off final are due to go on sale today.
