The date was Monday, 11th September 2006. The atmosphere was electric as the underdogs, Reading, took on the mighty Manchester City. The home crowd was in full voice, urging their team on, sensing an upset was on the cards. The visitors, however, were not to be underestimated, and they took an early lead through a clinical finish from Shaun Wright-Phillips. But Reading refused to be intimidated. They pressed forward, creating chance after chance, and finally, in the 30th minute, their efforts paid off. Kevin Doyle, the Irish international striker, rose above the Manchester City defense to head home a pinpoint cross from Steve Sidwell. The stadium erupted in jubilation as the scores were leveled. The second half saw both teams trade blows, with Manchester City regaining the lead through a controversial penalty call. But Reading refused to be disheartened.

The final whistle blew, and the stadium was plunged into a frenzy of excitement as the referee signaled a hard-fought 2-2 draw. This result was a testament to Reading's determination and resilience, and it remains a cherished memory for fans of the club.
