Cardiff has secured a spot in the Championship with a 3-1 win against Reading. The team's promotion was confirmed after Exeter's goalkeeper scored a 96th-minute equalizer against Stockport, causing all of Cardiff's rivals to miss out on a win. Head coach Brian Barry-Murphy expressed his gratitude, stating that the team's ambition and football skills are a gift.

The match began with Reading dominating, but Cardiff took the lead with a back-post header from Rubin Colwill in the 40th minute. Omari Kellyman doubled the advantage in the second half, and although Daniel Kyerewaa reduced the deficit, defender Perry Ng sealed the win with a superb angled effort. The team's promotion is a significant achievement, especially considering their relegation last season. The coach believes this is just the beginning for the team, praising the players' incredible ambition and football skills.
