Dilan Markanday scored the winner in a top-seven decider as Chesterfield clinched a League Two play-off spot with a win over Swindon Town who miss out on a chance of promotion.
The visitors should have been one up in the opening minutes when Lewis Gordon found Markanday who skied an effort.
But in the 19th minute Chesterfield broke the deadlock when a miscued Armando Dobra shot squirmed into the path of Lee Bonis to jab home.
A quick break teed up the unmarked Ryan Stirk for a chance to double the lead but he fired over.
Swindon, who needed to win, levelled on the stroke of half-time when Aaron Drinan coolly picked out Ben Middlemas to sidefoot home.
But a blistering move on the left saw the Spireites take the lead again in the 61st minute as a backheel set off Dobra who rampaged into the box and squared to Markanday to touch in on the goal line.
Chesterfield goalkeeper Ryan Boot pulled off a double save from Ollie Palmer's point-blank shots as Paul Cook's side held on to keep alive their promotion hopes and end Swindon's season.
