2024 EFL Trophy final
football match
The 2024 EFL Trophy final, known as the Bristol Street Motors Trophy final for sponsorship reasons, was an association football match that was played on 7 April 2024 at Wembley Stadium, London, England. It was played between League One teams Peterborough United and Wycombe Wanderers. The match decided the winners of the 2023–24 EFL Trophy, a knock-out tournament comprising clubs from League One and League Two of the English Football League (EFL), as well as 16 Category One academy sides representing Premier League and Championship clubs. It was Wycombe's first appearance in the final and the second for Peterborough who previously won the competition in 2014.
The game was played in front of an attendance of 42,252 and the referee was Scott Oldham. Although Wycombe started the game brightly, Peterborough grew into the match towards the end of the first half. Neither side could find a goal in the first 85 minutes of the match in what was described as a cagey match by the BBC. Peterborough struck first thanks to a powerful goal from captain Harrison Burrows. In the 89th minute, Wycombe responded with an equaliser from substitute Dale Taylor, whose volley from 20 yards beat the Peterborough goalkeeper. In stoppage time, Burrows scored a second goal to win the match 2–1. His deep cross from near the touchline curled beyond the Wycombe goalkeeper to seal a second triumph for Peterborough in the competition.

Why this record matters
The phrase “football match” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q124785334. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2024, 2023 and 2014.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
