Ipswich Town currently lead 1-0 after an own goal by Charlton Athletic defender Richard Wood.

The game saw action early on, as a penalty shout for Charlton was turned down by the referee. Wood was brought down by Daryl Murphy, but despite the protests of the players, nothing was given.

A 25-yard shot from Yann Kermorgant very nearly went in after taking a deflection, but Dean Gerken was able to save.

In the 24th minute, the away side took the lead, courtesy of an own goal by Wood. Murphy broke clear down the left and fired across goal. The ball then hit Wood and went into his own net.

Charlton tried in vain to equalise after conceding, and came close in first-half injury time through Kermorgant, but his free kick missed.
