. . "The 1992 Football League Second Division play-off Final was an association football match, which was played on 25 May 1992 at Wembley Stadium, London, between Blackburn Rovers and Leicester City. The match was to determine the third and final team to gain promotion from the Football League Second Division, the second tier of English football, to the inaugural season of the Premier League. The top two teams of the 1991\u201392 Football League Second Division season gained automatic promotion to the Premier League, while the clubs placed from third to sixth place in the table took part in play-off semi-finals; Leicester City had ended the season in fourth position, two places ahead of Blackburn Rovers. The winners of these semi-finals competed for the final place in the Premier League. Derby County and Cambridge United were the losing semi-finalists. The match was played in warm conditions in front of a Wembley crowd of 68,147 spectators and was refereed by George Courtney who was officiating his final league match. Neither team dominated the early stages of the match and the only goal of the game came moments before half-time when Blackburn's record signing Mike Newell scored from the penalty spot. David Speedie was brought down in the Leicester City penalty area by Steve Walsh and Courtney awarded the spot kick having adjudged the challenge as a foul. In the second half, both sides created numerous chances; with five minutes remaining, Leicester City goalkeeper Carl Muggleton brought down Mark Atkins to concede the second penalty of the match. This time, however, Muggleton saved Newell's strike. Despite late pressure from Leicester City, they failed to score and the match ended 1\u20130 to Blackburn, and they were promoted to the Premier League. Blackburn Rovers finished their following season in fourth place in the Premier League. Leicester City ended their next season in sixth place in the 1992\u201393 Football League First Division, and qualified for the play-off final where they lost 4\u20133 to Swindon Town."@en . . . . .
