Remarkable Turnaround for Hull City
The victory provides relief for the English Football League's legal department following previous statements from the Hull City camp.
Owner Acun Ilicali had vowed to instruct his lawyers if they lost, questioning why Middlesbrough was reinstated after being knocked out.
“Now the boys are in the stadium and they will not hear me,” Ilicali stated before kick-off, suggesting they would argue Hull should have been declared winners or Wrexham inserted into the semi-final.
The legal arguments are now academic following Hull City's triumph.
A little over a year ago, Hull City narrowly avoided relegation to League One, staying up solely due to a superior goal difference.
They entered the current campaign under a transfer fee embargo that was eventually reduced from three windows to two.
The restriction forced them to rely entirely on free agents to rebuild their squad, including top scorer McBurnie.
Jakirovic revealed that the initial pre-season target was merely to secure a top 10 finish in the division.
“But I thought that would be difficult,” Jakirovic said regarding those early expectations.
For Middlesbrough, the loss marked a painful end to their campaign after falling short in both the playoff semi-final and final.
