Play-off chasing pair Huddersfield and Reading had to settle for a point each as they drew 0-0 in their League One encounter at the John Smith’s Stadium.

The hosts stopped their run of three straight defeats to remain four points ahead of the Royals, who remained outside the top six.

Huddersfield created more first-half opportunities.

Forward Dion Charles twice went close early on, with both efforts going narrowly wide.

The Royals finally gained a foothold, and Mamadi Camara threatened when his angled strike flew over the top.

A smart move almost paid dividends for the Terriers shortly before the break. Ben Wiles eventually crossed for Callum Marshall, only for his crisp shot to be well saved by visiting goalkeeper Joel Pereira.

The Royals almost broke the deadlock shortly after the restart when Camara met Lewis Wing’s free-kick, but his volleyed effort drifted inches wide.

Charlie Savage then found space on the edge of the Huddersfield box before curling off target.

The Terriers replied with Josh Koroma seeing a fizzing drive expertly parried by Pereira.

Huddersfield substitute Freddie Ladapo threatened a dramatic late winner following a smart turn in the Reading box, but Pereira again saved well.
