- The 2004 Football Second Division play-off Final was an association football match which was played on 30 May 2004 at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, between Brighton & Hove Albion and Bristol City to determine the third and final team to gain promotion from the Football League Second Division to the Football League Championship. The top two teams of the 2003–04 Second Division season, Plymouth Argyle and Queens Park Rangers, gained automatic promotion to the Championship, while the teams placed from third to sixth place in the table took part in play-off semi-finals; the winners of these semi-finals competed for the final place for the 2004–05 season in the Championship. Brighton and Bristol defeated Swindon Town and Hartlepool United, respectively, in the semi-finals. The final kicked off around 3 p.m. in front of a crowd of 65,167 and was refereed by Richard Beeby. The first half ended scoreless: Brian Tinnion's free kick was kept out by Brighton's goalkeeper Ben Roberts, and after Tommy Doherty fouled Nathan Jones in the 43rd minute, Leon Knight's curling free kick from 20 yards (18 metres) struck the Bristol City crossbar. Neither side made any changes to their personnel during the interval. On 84 minutes, Chris Iwelumo was brought down by Danny Coles in the Bristol City penalty area. The referee awarded a penalty which Knight struck past Steve Phillips in the Bristol City goal. Bristol City pressured late but could not score, and the match ended 1–0 with Brighton being promoted to the newly renamed Football League Championship (formerly Football League First Division). Brighton ended the next season in twentieth place in the First Division, two places and one point above the relegation zone. Bristol City manager Danny Wilson left the club the week after the final. In their , Bristol City finished in seventh position in the Second Division and missed out on the play-offs by one place and one point. (en)
