Pass/Fail:

"The top three teams of the 1992–93 Football League Third Division, Cardiff City, Wrexham and Barnet, gained automatic promotion to the Second Division, while the teams placed from fourth to seventh place in the table took part in play-offs." - repetition of "teams"
"However, Dave McKearney scored a penalty kick a minute before the end of time to initiate a penalty shootout." - what was the cause for there to be a penalty kick?
The term aggregate will need to be wikilinked to the relevant article
Both mentions of the word season in the third paragraph might be better off wikilinked to the relevant articles

"York City finished the regular 1992–93 season in fourth place in the Third Division, the fourth tier of the English football league system, two places and eleven points ahead of Crewe Alexandra." - repetition of "places"
The terms pass and cross can be wikilinked to the correct article only on the first mention
"Martin O'Connor reduced the deficit the following minute with a 30 yards (27 m) strike" - yard

"Both matches between the sides during the regular season ended in 3–1 home wins, York City victorious in November 1992 at Bootham Crescent and Crewe Alexandra winning at Gresty Road the following March." - think there is a word missing from this sentence
"As both sides usually played in the same coloured kit, there was a coin toss to determine which side would wear their change strip: York won and wore red shirts while Crewe wore blue." - repetition of "side(s)"

"Dave McKearney saw an early chance go wide of the York goal" - early chance to what?
"Neither side made any changes to their playing personnel during the intervall and early in the second half," - spelling error; interval
The terms penalty area and foul can also be wikilinked to their relevant articles
"Fourteen minutes into the first half of the additional period, Barnes flicked the ball onto Swann who ran onto it and struck it into the Crewe goal "as though scoring were the easiest thing in the world"'," - according to whom?

Both mentions of the word season in the second paragraph might be better off wikilinked to the relevant articles
