The play-off match for the final place in the Premier League 2017/18 between Huddersfield and Reading was extremely tense. It was a match worth £170 million, the prize that experts estimated the winner would receive if they played in the Premier League next season, so both Huddersfield and Reading played very cautiously. Neither wanted to be the team that lost.

So Huddersfield and Reading were dragged into a nerve-wracking penalty shootout. David Wagner, Huddersfield's German coach, kept encouraging his players before the fateful penalty shootout. Jaap Stam, who is now leading Reading, was restless and worried. Perhaps, he was remembering the penalty he kicked straight into the stands in the EURO 2000 semi-final against Italy.

Reading took the lead in the shootout when goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi saved Michael Hefele's shot in the second. However, Reading were unable to hold on to their advantage. In the fourth and fifth, Reading's Liam Moore and Jordan Obita failed to find the back of Danny Ward's net.

The whole Wembley stadium was thrilled when Christopher Schindler stepped up and took the final kick for Huddersfield. Schindler's accurate shot brought the final victory to the home team. Winning 4-3 on penalties, Huddersfield won the last ticket to play in the Premier League 2017/18
