Famara Diedhiou has been the match-winner in a 1-0 Sky Bet Championship triumph against studying at Ashton Gate of Bristol City.
The only goal arrived on 12 minutes after Niclas Eliassons cross from the right saw the striker unmarked to head home.
A Reading side unlucky not to take a stage pushed them all of the way, although victory extended Citys unbeaten run to 10 matches.
City created a start and earlier Diedhious goal Callum ODowda got supporting the Reading defence on the left and crossed for Andreas Weimann to go over.
But Reading responded to falling behind nicely. In the 20th minute that the Ovie Ejaria needed a shot and fired just wide.
Five minutes later City were caught out by a long ball to Yakou Meite and were spared by goalkeeper Dan Bentley, who distribute himself to rescue one-on-one.
Ejaria shot from the edge of the box, but Reading looked dangerous although buoyed by his goal, Diedhiou needed a shot deflected for a corner.
City had two chances at the onset of the next halfan ODowda forcing a save from Rafael Cabral with a low drive along with an Eliasson cross fizzing throughout the box.
In the other end George Puscas switched Taylor Moore on the boxs corner only to shoot around with Meite.
Reading should have equalised on 56 minutes when Ejaria made a great cross for Puscas fail to convert from six yards and to get his feet and right burst into the penalty area on the left.
By exploring on top and Ejaria causing City countless problems six minutes Puscas was replaced by Lucas Boye. A run to the byline saw him send.
Reading looked increasingly hazardous and Lee Johnson made a double switch on 72 minutes, delivering on Jack Hunt along with Antoine Semenyo for Eliasson and Diedhiou.
A misplaced pass by Semenyo saw Reading fracture at the powerful run of Meite and the minute. As Lucas Joao substituted Michael Morrison, visiting boss Jose Gomes sacrificed one of his three centre-backs.
An equaliser was brought by A throw in the abandoned because City defender Ashley Williams poked the ball just wide of his own net. Bentleys failure to claim a cross resulted in a goalmouth scramble from which City about penalizing.
At a hectic finish, Bentley saved brilliantly from Boyes low shot and Citys third substitute if he should have scored Kasey Palmer finished weakly.
