Ipswich collected the first yellow card when Cédric Kipré was booked in the 27th minute. Midfielder Azor Matusiwa followed him into the referee’s notebook on 57 minutes as challenges in midfield grew more combative. West Brom responded in kind, with Daryl Dike shown a yellow card a minute later, and defender George Campbell booked on 79 minutes. Ipswich defender Jacob Greaves received the final caution of the afternoon in stoppage time.

Both managers turned to their benches in the second half in search of a decisive moment. Ipswich made a double change on 65 minutes, introducing Marcelino Núñez for Anis Mehmeti and Jaden Philogene-Bidace for Jack Clarke. Later, a 75th-minute reshuffle saw George Hirst replace Ivan Azón and Wes Burns come on for Kasey McAteer.

West Brom’s main attacking alteration came on 71 minutes, with Josh Maja replacing Daryl Dike. Karlan Grant entered the fray for Alex Mowatt on 80 minutes, and Tammer Bany was introduced late on for Aune Heggebø in the 88th minute, but none of the substitutes could tilt the balance.

With no goals and only the bookings and substitutions officially recorded, the draw leaves both clubs taking a single point into the final weekend of the Championship season. Further detailed match events such as shots, saves, and line-ups were not available at the time of reporting.
