Sixty-three teams have been whittled down to just two in the 2019-20 Leasing.com Trophy.
Portsmouth and Salford City will contest the final, due to be played on April 5, after making it through their respective semi-finals this week.
Neither side had it easy. Portsmouth were the first of the two teams to book their place at Wembley after a stunningly dramatic last-gasp victory over Exeter City at Fratton Park this past Tuesday night, February 18.
Salford themselves, in their EFL Trophy debut season, didn't have things easy. It took penalties to see their way past fellow League 2 side Newport County with new signing James Wilson securing victory in the shoot-out at Rodney Parade.
The final at Wembley will bring back good memories for Salford. In their last visit for the National League final in May, they beat Fylde 3-0.

In Round 2, Portsmouth came back from 1-0 down to beat Northampton Town 2-1 at Fratton Park. They defeated Scunthorpe United by the same scoreline in Round 3 with semi-final heroes John Marquis and Cameron McGeehan on the scoresheet.
