And away we go. Start up by Simon Mather, a referee that Rex more familiar with actually than Reading as his career up the football league is kind of at the same time as Rexom’s rise itself. Rexom are happy again to to sit in little bit of space between the lines there though is picked up by Doyle who’s an actionpacked midfielder. He swings in a dangerous cross. No, it’s not. Beg your pardon. They’re going to make you panic if you’re on the audio feed. Callum Doyles underneath it comfortably. Reing again feeding it forwards and again this time Omani good space drills it just wide from a good 25 yds out inside. Gives it back to Savage. Savage shots a great pass out now to Batman taking on Brun drills it. Good save by Burton. That was a nasty shot. Really stinging effort. Doyle helps it down left. McClean back inside. That’s good movement making space for Broward. He helps it on. James over the top looking for Sam Smith. Good save. The ball drops loose. Smith gets it from the keeper. Doyle shot is blocked on the line and it ricochets clear and Lee has made a nice little move between the lines. Oh, good ball by Brunt. Great spot to find Broadhead on the right. Sweeps an inviting ball. Smith gets up. Good header, but a safe catch by Stevens. Just looped over his head and was a pretty comfortable take. Fed neatly back to him. drives out to the area. Will he try another shot? He looks Romani and it’s Burton charging out saving at his feet. Reading wants a penalty. They’re asking. Decent ball to there to Rex and no danger here as the ball’s driven against the post. Terrific hit that. It was slashed in by Kamari Doyle. And away we go. Ball played back to Brunts. Sets himself. Knocks it long. Smith against Ryan who heads it partly clear her bachamin up to Omani and it’s knocked over the top looking for Cha area good strong hand by Stevens throw taken quickly clever not down the chance for Lee drills ahead it’s blocked shot comes in again and Ratom take the lead Nathan Broad’s first goal for his club ratom man Rexom goal lovely finish wasn’t it? Yeah. Beautiful for the Welsh International. First one shirt. Got a bad guy to get in the third round in the cup. It’s a lovely little just wraps it just for nicely defender balls on his back side. He just opens up for Rexell. The first attempt like I say just falls nicely there. He’s got that quality on the ball to produce a strike like that. One. Well, delighted for him because he’s come here with a big price tag. It’s not really happened for him in these first few weeks of his his Rexom career. It’s a brilliant corner from Thomasson. Nearly flies in the far corner, but Broadhead’s the brightest of them all from the throw in. He’s the one that goes early. Flicks it inside to Elliot Lee. Elliot Lee’s shot cross putting Reading under pressure. Cute dummy by Broadhead. Nearly falls for Lee. Punch to Smith. Back to Lee. Pulls it just wide. unlucky, but an important lunging intervention by Jacob, who didn’t get the block in, but did make himself big and forced Lee to just pull it wide. Snappy by Reum on the edge of the area though. Yeah, really good play. Just one touch, two touch stuff around the edge of the box. He’s got to be quick to create those shooting opportunities. And it’s a fine ball in from on it taking on Ryan. Little step over. Dinks it to the far post. Keeper at full touch. pushed it into the goal mouth. Just knocked away from McClean who was attacking it and by Matty James and Lee spins away from wing. Drives through the middle. He’s got support to his right. He carries it forwards. Looks for Smith just under hit it but Barner picks a loose ball. Sweeps it in. Great header. Oh, he’s hit the bar twice. That’s in, isn’t it? It must be what it is now. Two nut gets the credit. I thought the Broadheads effort must have gone in as they hit the bar twice. Lee followed it or Smith followed it in. Need to see that again. Definitely 2-0. Center half to head it in. Bounces down. I’m not too sure if it they just make a mess of it, don’t they, between Stevens and it somehow ends up in the back of the net. It’s 2-0. Having played that killer ball, Barnett now goes off to a standing ovation from the Rexom fans. He’s been excellent, hasn’t he? He has been excellent. It’s his birthday as well today, so happy birthday, Ryan Barnett. Brilliant performance. I think that’s an goal looking at. This second angle might give us a better view. [Applause] space. Very strong finish by McClean across the poor defensive head when Hardy nearly gets there. It’s a corner. It was a horrible defensive header. Back into the goalmouth and Hardy just beat into it by Stickland who prodded it just wide of his own post. Jacob’s header. Well, Jacob trying to just head it back to O’Brien. He lifts it over the top. Look for Hardy. Keeper comes out of the box. Hardy digs it past him. Can he finish? He sets himself. Carries it forwards. Blocked. Oh, what a moment. And now here’s Reading at the other end. Lane bursting to the edge area. Left footed shot. Good save by Burton. Fair play. Been a good game. And as we enter added time, that’s a good strike. Burton to his left full stretch. tips it around the post. Yeah, really good save. But it’s a brilliant counterattack from Rexom into O’Brien. O’Brien into Hardy. Keepers coming. His touch is brilliant and then just play it. You’ve got to play it firm early when the throw into reading deep in their own half. Stevens fair play sprints out to retrieve the ball quickly, but time is virtually up. The referee has a little look around and here we are. Final whistle. Rexom one two nil go through to the next round of the League Cup. Reading played well. Two heavily rotated teams and Reading despite being a division lower than us look decent. Brew the ball around well. ask a lot of questions of
