Stevenage secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Reading thanks to D. Kemp's decisive late strike five minutes from time. The match appeared destined for a goalless draw until manager's tactical substitutions paid dividends, with Kemp making an immediate impact after coming on in the 69th minute. Both sides struggled to create clear-cut chances in a scrappy encounter marked by four yellow cards, but Stevenage's persistence in the final third ultimately broke Reading's resistance. This vital three points will boost Stevenage's confidence as they look to climb away from mid-table mediocrity, while Reading's search for consistency continues in what has been a frustrating League One campaign.
