The losing semi-finalists were Rotherham United and Swansea City who had been defeated by Leyton Orient and Scunthorpe United respectively. The referee for the final, which was played in front of 36,985 spectators, was Clive Wilkes. In the sixth minute, Gareth Sheldon took the ball round Dean Smith, the Leyton Orient captain, and played a chipped cross to the near post: Scunthorpe's Alejandro Calvo García scored with a header past Scott Barrett. Scunthorpe dominated the first half but Leyton Orient made two substitutions at half-time and started the second half with more pressure. Scunthorpe's goalkeeper Tom Evans made a number of saves and Martin Ling cleared Darryn Stamp's shot in the final minute of the game. The match ended 1–0 to Scunthorpe who were promoted to the Second Division. Scunthorpe United finished their following season in 23rd place in the Second Division, losing four of their last five matches, and were relegated back to the Third Division.
