NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN SO SOON
The Bluebirds and the Boro last faced off... well, only 20 days before Monday evening's CCS fixture. Having managed to avoid each other competitively previously, it's now two battles in less than a month.
Brian Barry-Murphy's men went to Stevenage, who had yet to taste defeat at home in the league in 2025/26 before City's visit.
It was a hyper competitive match, with chances at a premium. It always felt like a moment of magic would be needed to break the deadlock, and that came late on.
Callum Robinson entered the game from the bench and settled it with a piece of quality. Robbo plucked the ball out of the air following Omari Kellyman's deflected cross field pass, taking a touch to control the ball before firing towards goal, besting Filip Marschall, to give the Bluebirds the lead, and eventually all three points.
Current Stevenage boss, Alex Revell, made 30 appearances for the #Bluebirds, scoring three goals, including this winner away at Brentford in March 2015! 📆#CityAsOne pic.twitter.com/ifqY3fafBG
