A 111th minute goal by Ryan Bowman sealed a third League Two play-off final appearance in the space of four years for Exeter City at the expense of Colchester United.
After trailing 1-0 from the first leg, the Grecians equalised on aggregate in the 10th minute when Aaron Martin fired home after Alex Fisher had seen a shot blocked.
On 58 minutes, City edged ahead over the two legs when a weak shot from Jayden Richardson trickled under U's keeper Dean Gerken before a late Courtney Senior effort for the visitors forced the game into extra time.
And it was in extra time that Bowman emerged as the Grecians' hero as he latched onto Archie Collins' through ball and beat the offside trap and fired past Gerken to take City to Wembley.
Standing in the Grecians' way of achieving a place in League Two are Northampton Town who overcame a two-goal deficit from their first leg to beat Cheltenham Town 3-2 on aggregate. The Cobblers are, of course, managed by former Torquay United player and manager Keith Curle, who was also manager of Carlisle United when the Grecians beat the Cumbrians in the play-off semi-finals in the 2016-17 season.
