Torquay United 1-2 Cheltenham Town

Cheltenham Town make it through to the League Two playoff final after a 2-1 victory over Torquay United at Plainmoor.

Cheltenham Town have made it through to the League Two playoff final after a 2-1 victory over Torquay United at Plainmoor.

Goals from Jermaine McGlashan and Marlon Pack were enough to give Mark Yates's side a 4-1 aggregate win.

The hosts started brightly as they looked to claw back the first-leg deficit and they nearly made the breakthrough when Euan O'Kane's effort was tipped over by Scott Brown.

Torquay's best opportunity of the half came when Sido Jombati's header looked to be heading into his own net. However, Cheltenham's Keith Lowe managed to somehow direct the ball onto the post and away.

They hit the woodwork again in first-half injury time as Kevin Nicholson's drive came back off the crossbar.

Brown was called into action in the Cheltenham goal again before the hour when he managed to get a hand to Ben Burgess's header.

Despite pressure from the hosts, it was Cheltenham who opened the scoring on 75 minutes through Jermaine McGlashan as the striker timed his run perfectly before slotting in.

Torquay pulled one back in the final five minutes through substitute Taiwo Atieno's header, but the tie was killed off soon after when Pack fired in an unstoppable free kick.

Cheltenham will now face Crewe Alexandra at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, May 27 for a place in League One.
