Decisive figure settles it and shuts the door for City at Charlton | OneFootball

Noah Eile won it in the 55th minute with a close-range finish, as Bristol City beat Charlton Athletic 2-1.

He reacted quickest to a second phase ball at a set piece, guiding it in from inside the six-yard box (55.). The centre-back's anticipation and positioning turned a tight game Bristol City's way at the restart.

From there, Eile fronted the rearguard. He attacked aerial deliveries, cleared danger under pressure and kept The Robins organised as Charlton pushed late on.

He finished with one goal, nine clearances and six aerial duels won, plus 39 completed passes from 44. Those numbers underline how he handled direct play and reset possession when City needed calm.

Because Charlton hurled in 28 crosses, Eile's timing on first contacts and box leadership were decisive, allowing City to hold territory and close the game on their terms.

City rise from 16th to 13th in the Championship and host Sheffield United next. Charlton visit Watford next.
