"Ipswich had fought from two goals down to take an 82nd-minute lead, but they could not hold out for the victory as they slipped up in the race for automatic promotion. Smit opened the scoring 35 minutes in what was his first goal in English football before Bae Jun-Ho doubled their lead on the stroke of half-time."
"Cedric Kipre then fouled Lamine Cisse in the box, and Smit made no mistake from the spot in a dramatic finale, which opened the door for Hull City to close the gap to Ipswich. The Tigers are now just two points behind Ipswich after they held out for a 2-1 win over fellow promotion hopefuls Wrexham."
"Joe Gelhardt continued his fine scoring run by breaking the deadlock in the 40th minute before seeing a penalty saved by Arthur Okonkwo just four minutes later. Lewis Koumas doubled their lead shortly after the hour, though, and that was enough for them to clinch all three points after Nathan Broadhead had halved the deficit with 14 minutes left."
