Charlie Kelman's stoppage-time penalty secured a 1-1 draw for Charlton Athletic at the Kassam Stadium, denying Oxford United a fourth consecutive Championship win in their relegation battle. The substitute calmly converted from the spot in the third minute of added time after goalkeeper Jamie Cumming fouled Lloyd Jones during a free-kick. Cameron Brannagan had earlier given Oxford the lead from the penalty spot in the 57th minute, marking their first penalty in nearly two years.

Oxford made one enforced change with Myles Peart-Harris missing out due to injury, while Charlton boss Nathan Jones rotated his squad, making five changes from the team that beat second-placed Middlesbrough. Both sides entered the match in good form, with Charlton's surprise win at Middlesbrough taking them to 48 points and virtual safety. The Addicks controlled possession in the opening 20 minutes, though Oxford grew into the game as Stan Mills began influencing proceedings.

The match swung dramatically in the second half. After Brannagan's successful penalty, Will Lankshear nearly doubled Oxford's lead but saw Lloyd Jones clear his chipped effort off the line. However, Kelman's late intervention ensured Charlton salvaged a valuable point in their survival bid, leaving Oxford's manager Matt Bloomfield frustrated by the timing of the equalizer.
