Lead

 * "The match was the 23rd final of the domestic cup competition for teams from Football Leagues One and Two, the Football League Trophy." - how about The match was the 23rd final of the Football League Trophy, a domestic cup competition for teams from Football Leagues One and Two.
 * "The final was contested between League One side Swansea City and League Two side Carlisle United." - repetition of the word "side"
 * "was their top goalscorer in the competition," - how about tournament for variety?
 * Wikilink crossing to Cross (association football)
 * Wikilink the term volley to Volley (association football) and header to Header (association football)

Carlisle United

 * "League Two side Carlisle United " - club for variety
 * Wikilink the term corner kick

Swansea City

 * The wikilink in the word "A" in the second column in the table should be corrected to Layer Road
 * "In the second round, Swansea recorded a comfortable 4–0 victory over Rushden & Diamonds." - the word "comfortable" isn't particularly encyclopedic
 * "The only goal of the game was scored shortly before half time by Akinfenwa, his fourth goal of the competition," - repetition of the term "goal"

Background

 * "Carlisle entered the final having won seven of their previous eight fixtures and having not suffered a defeat for nine league games." - and were not beaten in their last nine league games.
 * "and won the 1997 final." - and victory in the 1997 final.

Pre-match

 * "Carlisle were dealt a blow" - please reword the text in bold to a more formal, encyclopedic phrase
 * Wikilink cup-tied
 * The percent symbol should be replaced by per cent per MOS:PERCENT
 * Wikilink play-off finals to English Football League play-offs

Aftermath

 * "Regarding his goal, Trundle has described the effort as the best goal he scored during his career," - repetition of the word "goal"

Summary

 * Wikilink offside to Offside (association football)
 * "Swansea retook the lead with nine minutes remaining, Trundle playing through Akinfenwa," - the first comma is not appropriate in this instance
