Barnsley won the League One play-off final and promotion to the Championship after a 4-3 penalty shoot-out triumph.
Adebayo Akinfenwa struck his penalty over the crossbar before Nick Colgan made the decisive save from Alan Tate.
Paul Hayes had put Barnsley ahead with a far-post volley before Rory Fallon equalised with an overhead strike.
Andy Robinson shot straight at Colgan, who allowed the ball to dribble over the line, but Daniel Nardiello's free-kick put Barnsley on level terms.
Swansea were hoping to win promotion for a second consecutive year - and certainly finished the match strongly, with substitute Lee Trundle troubling the tiring Barnsley defence.
But after the first four penalties of the shoot-out had been scored Akinfenwa lifted his hesitant strike over Colgan's crossbar.
Colgan, who earlier in the match had gifted Swansea a goal, saved Tait's strike to seal victory.
The match started at a frenetic pace and both teams had early strikes, though both Owain Tudur-Jones for Swansea and Tykes striker Nardiello shot wide.
Swansea backed off as Brian Howard ran at them and the midfielder almost punished the Welsh team's hesitant defending with a low strike across goal.
Willy Gueret was badly positioned but managed to make a superb fingertip save, deflecting the ball around the post for a corner.
Hayes did put the Yorkshire side ahead - his volley sneaking inside Gueret's near post after Kevin Austin's defensive header had looped towards him invitingly.
But Swansea were not to be denied and score twice before the break.
Fallon's spectacular strike put Kenny Jackett's team back on level terms.
Garry Monk then floated the ball into the Barnsley penalty area and Fallon reacted quickest to Tudur-Jones flick, brilliantly executing an overhead volley.
Robinson, industrious throughout, put the Swans ahead, though his weak shot should have been comfortably saved by Colgan, who allowed the ball to squirm free and into the net.
It could have been worse for Barnsley but Colgan partially atoned for his previous error, saving a Robinson shot from 10 yards with his legs before collecting the loose ball with Knight closing in.
Bobby Hassell reacted angrily to Knight's attempt to win the ball, throwing the striker to the ground and picking up a yellow card.
Knight seemed certain to convert Fallon's cushioned pass 10 minutes into the second half but Tykes skipper Paul Reid made a crucial challenge.
And Barnsley went on to equalise, Nardiello's low, precise free-kick eluding the Swansea wall and nestling in the Swans' net, while Gueret stood motionless.
Reid had the chance to snatch a late winner for Barnsley but his far-post header bounced into the ground and over the Swansea crossbar.
An even better opportunity fell to Tate in injury time but his first touch was heavy as he closed in on goal and he sliced his shot wide from close range with his second.
Swansea substitutes Trundle and Akinfenwa both shot close from long distance in the opening minutes of extra time.
And Trundle cut inside from the right and jinked across the Barnsley defence before shooting inches wide - but there were to be no more goals and the game went to penalties.
Swansea fan in peace, I went to this game and was absolutely gutted with the result. I was thirteen nearly fourteen, when rob no scored I thought we would win it but to be fair we didn't deserve to go up that year as we tailed off big time since Christmas.Gutted at the time for Bayo and Tate as they were my favourite players at the time apart from Trundle. Crazy that it was ten years ago though and so much has happened to us for the better!
As a Barnsley FC fan I was there aswell and was absolutely delighted and went ecstatic with the rest of the Barnsley fc fans and staff when Nardiello scored that freekick aswell as when we won on penalties. I don't think anyone could believe it had gone in until nardiello and the rest of the barnsley team were celebrating and then to go on and win it was absolutely amazing and incredible even though it was very intense , tough , tight game which I and probably every other bfc fan could barely watch.
I am very thankful and grateful we (Barnsley FC) won though, one of the best experience I have ever had which I will always remember and never forget as long as I live. Great moments for us Barnsley fans , our town of Barnsley and for Barnsley FC itself ✊️✊️🫶.
It's just a shame we couldn't beat Cardiff in the 2008 FA Cup Semi Final aswell though.
Come On You (Super) Reds BFC 🐶❤🔴⚪️⚽️.
Absolutely fantastic day has a Barnsley fan we were winning then losing then drawing then got lucky in both the full 90 minutes and then again in the extra time period then managed to win the lottery of penalties
Some say Paul Reid is still trying to get his mate onto the podium today..
Quite crazy that this could be, the 2021 Championsip Play-Off Final itself! And I'm sure neutrals like me will love it!
