Ben Godfrey helped Shrewsbury return to the automatic promotion places in League One, ahead of the Shropshire side's trip to Wembley.
The high-flying Shrews bounced back from a 3-1 defeat at Rochdale on Good Friday with a 3-2 home win over Oxford on Easter Monday, playing the full 90 minutes in both games.
Carlton Morris played all of the Rochdale defeat but was an unused substitute against Oxford. Both will now hope they will feature in Sunday's Football League Trophy final against Lincoln, a 3pm kick-off being shown live on Sky Sports.
Remi Matthews kept a clean sheet as Plymouth won 4-0 at home against Southend on Friday but was not in action on Monday after Argyle's trip to Scunthorpe was postponed, leaving them ninth but a point adrift of fifth in a tight play-off battle.
Yanic Wildschut was a late substitute for Cardiff in both a 3-1 home win against Burton and a 1-1 draw at Sheffield United as the Bluebirds stayed second in the Championship.
Rangers bounced back from 2-0 down at Motherwell to draw 2-2 and stay second in the Scottish Premiership, with Russell Martin playing the full game and conceding an early penalty.
Aberdeen remain level on points after a 4-1 home win over St Johnstone in which Kenny McLean played the full match, as did Steven Naismith in a 1-1 draw at Dundee for Hearts.
