Cardiff Earns Championship Promotion with Victory Over Reading

Cardiff City has clinched promotion back to the Championship after defeating Reading 3-1. The win, combined with Exeter's 96th-minute equalizer against Stockport, meant that all of Cardiff's promotion rivals failed to secure a win, paving the way for the Welsh side's return to the second tier. Head coach Brian Barry-Murphy expressed his gratitude and pride in his team, stating that it 'means the world' and that the players have 'incredible ambition.' The team's journey to promotion was marked by exceptional performances, including a 1-0 lead at half-time courtesy of Rubin Colwill's back-post header and Omari Kellyman's second-half goal.

The promotion marks a significant milestone for the team, with Barry-Murphy believing that 'we've only seen the start of it.'
