Halifax Town’s Promotion Hopes Dashed by Embarrassing Own Goal

Halifax Town’s aspirations of promotion to League Two were shattered after a calamitous own goal that has been hailed as “one for the ages.” In a bizarre twist of fate, Halifax found themselves playing against Solihull Moors in the playoff clash rather than the anticipated opponents, Barnet. However, the game turned sour for Halifax when Tylor Holden’s comical own goal in the 38th minute sealed their fate. Despite rallying back with two goals, Halifax couldn’t overcome the deficit, resulting in Solihull’s progression to the semi-finals. Halifax’s promotion hopes are now on hold, as they remain in the National League after securing promotion from the Conference North in 2013.
