Reading responded quickly after the interval. In the 47th minute, Daniel Kankam Kyerewaa levelled the contest, converting after good work from Paddy Lane, whose assist restored parity at 1–1 and shifted the momentum towards the visitors.

The match was competitive throughout, with a series of bookings reflecting the intensity.

For Reading, Paddy Lane and Haydon Roberts entered the referee’s book late on.

Both managers turned to their benches in search of a late winner. Rotherham introduced Ar’jany Martha, Cohen Lee and James Clarke in the second half, while Reading brought on Emmanuel Osho, Matt Ritchie, Sean Patton and Kelvin Abrefa. Despite the fresh legs, neither side could find a decisive goal.
