Cardiff City has achieved promotion to the Championship after defeating Reading 3-1. The win was made possible when Exeter's goalkeeper, Jack Bycroft, scored an equalizing goal in the 96th minute against Stockport, causing all of Cardiff's promotion rivals to lose. As a result, Cardiff will return to the second tier immediately after being relegated the previous season. Head coach Brian Barry-Murphy expressed his joy, stating that it means the world to him and that he feels blessed to work with such ambitious players. The team's captain, Rubin Colwill, scored the first goal in the 40th minute, and Omari Kellyman added a second goal in the 50th minute. Although Daniel Kyerewaa reduced the deficit in the 73rd minute, defender Perry Ng sealed the win with a goal four minutes before the end of the game. The result was confirmed when Exeter scored a dramatic equalizer, ensuring Cardiff's promotion. Reading started strong, with Jeriel Dorsett and Kyerewaa creating scoring opportunities, but Colwill broke the deadlock with a well-directed header. Kellyman added a second goal, and after Kyerewaa reduced the deficit, Ng's superb effort from 20 yards secured the win for Cardiff, prompting their 2,935 fans to celebrate wildly.
