Stoke City broke Cardiff's hearts with an 89th minute James O'Connor goal to earn a 1 - 0 win for the Potters after 90 mins and to send the game into extra time.

Just as penalties looked certain a harshly awarded free kick against Spencer Prior saw O'Connor fire his free kick into the wall where it deflected off Stoke striker Oulare to wrongfoot Alexander and give Stoke the chance to play at the Millennium Stadium next week. The Potters winning 3 - 2 on agg.

Spencer Prior was sent off soon after Stokes second goal, I think for dissent. It was a straight red card for Prior who must have really upset the referee.

Best of luck to Stoke, they were a good team. They will play Brentford in the final.
