In the 36th minute, Darnell Furlong levelled the score for the visitors, finishing a move created by Azor Matusiwa, whose assist brought Ipswich back into the contest at 1–1.

The turning point came after the break. On 58 minutes, Ipswich were awarded a penalty, and Jaden Philogene-Bidace converted from the spot to complete the comeback and make it 2–1 to the away side.

Charlton managerially adjusted early, with Amari’i Bell replaced by Luke Chambers in the 18th minute, and further attacking changes followed as Lyndon Dykes, Sonny Carey, Matt Godden and Harvey Knibbs all came on in search of an equaliser. Ipswich responded with their own substitutions, including Jack Clarke, Dan Neil, Marcelino Núñez, George Hirst and late defensive reinforcement Cédric Kipré.

Discipline featured on both sides, with yellow cards shown to Charlton’s Macaulay Gillesphey and Lyndon Dykes, and to Ipswich’s Jack Taylor and Jack Clarke. No red cards or further goal details beyond the provided events were recorded.

With limited statistical data available, deeper insights into possession, shots and goalkeeper performances are not confirmed. Nonetheless, the result significantly boosts Ipswich’s position heading into the final weeks of the Championship campaign, while Charlton are left to reflect on a bright start that ultimately yielded no points.
