Barnsley advanced to the Third Round with a narrow 1-0 victory over Peterborough United at the Weston Homes Stadium in the Second Round Proper. The match remained goalless for over an hour before Patrick Kelly broke the deadlock in the 73rd minute with what proved to be the decisive strike. Despite Peterborough creating four shots on target compared to Barnsley’s three, the Tykes’ clinical finishing made the difference. Barnsley’s indisciplined approach saw them pick up five yellow cards to Peterborough’s two, but they held firm to secure their progression in the competition.
