They beat Barnsley 1-0 and, remember they were beaten semi-finalists last season. Rotherham remain in the drop zone as they could only draw 0-0 with Mansfield while Burton and Exeter boosted their survival hopes by sharing a 1-1 draw. FT: Ipswich 1-0 Hull Here is what that Azor Matusiwa wonder strike for Ipswich does to the top of the Championship table. The Tractor Boys are now just three points behind second-placed Middlesbrough with a game in hand and a superior goal difference. Town welcome Boro to Portman Road in April. What a game that promises to be. Hull City remain six points adrift of the automatic promotion spots and seven points clear of Southampton in seventh. Doncaster 0-1 Stockport Stockport are going to Wembley in the EFL Trophy. Ollie Norwood's brilliant first-half free-kick proves to be the decider but they should have won comfortably as Doncaster goalkeeper Zander Clark was forced to make a number of saves. Rovers making nine changes to their starting 11 backfired and they are left to try to save their League One status. Stockport will try to go one better than 1992 and 1993 when they finished runners-up in successive years in this competition. They will meet either Luton or Northampton in next month's final. Use yellow button on page Ipswich made very hard work of that. Too slow, too lackadaisical. Fortunately Hull didn’t put in their attacking team until it was too late. Clive, Suffolk Doncaster 0-1 Stockport That is brilliant from Ben Osborn of Stockport. Luke Molyneux is about to apply the finishing touch and he thinks nab the equaliser but Osborn dives in to make a crucial tackle. Molyneux is booked as he feels he was fouled as well. We will have four minutes of time added on. The visitors can almost taste Wembley. FT: Ipswich 1-0 Hull Peter Swan BBC Radio Humberside Tactically I really liked they way Hull set things out and they got things right, except from that one spell in the game. It is a hard one to take but they need to remember they are where they are for a reason. Michael Spellman (90+6 mins) That will do it - Newport County are no longer bottom of the 92. Michael Spellman seals the victory deep into added-on time - but it came on the counter after County 'keeper Jordan Wright made a fine save to prevent Tranmere equalising from a corner. As Newport cleared, and with Tranmere goalkeeper Marko Marosi scrambling back, Spellman rolls the ball into an empty net. This result will see the Exiles move out of the League Two relegation zone. FT: Ipswich 1-0 Hull Mike White Commentator on BBC Radio Humberside That has been a monumental effort from that Hull side this evening but one momentary lapse has cost them. They will feel very, very frustrated and a bitter pill to swallow for sure. #bbcefl Wycombe Wanderers are into the League One play-off places. Aaron Morley's second-half goal proves decisive as they win 1-0 at Barnsley. Rotherham United miss the chance to move out of the relegation zone as they are held to a goalless draw at home by Mansfield Town. Matt Taylor earns a point on his return as Exeter City boss. They fell behind at home to Burton Albion through Udoka Godwin-Malife's vicious strike before Josh Magennis nudged in the equaliser having only just come on as a substitute. Doncaster 0-1 Stockport Isaac Olaofe almost wraps it up for Stockport but that man Zander Clark in the Doncaster goal again makes the save. Ipswich 1-0 Hull A big, big win for Ipswich in the race for automatic promotion to the Premier League. Huge roars ring around Portman Road. Azor Matusiwa's first goal for the club is the difference - and what a strike it was too as he hammered it into the top corner from 20 yards out. Ipswich 1-0 Hull Ipswich clear the corner and Ivor Pandur races back. Second remaining in this vital contest. Ipswich 1-0 Hull Hull win a late corner. Goalkeeper Ivor Pandur is up. Doncaster 0-1 Stockport On comes striker Hakeeb Adelakun for Doncaster as we enter the final 10 minutes. He replaces Ben Close. Rovers have eight minutes to find a goal and take us to a penalty shoot-out. Cameron Evans (88 mins) What a huge goal this could be at the bottom of League Two. Newport, playing against 10 men for the entirety of this second half, have been putting in a barrage of crosses, and Tranmere had held out - until now. Minutes after Tranmere goalkeeper Marko Marosi pulls off a brilliant save to deny Michael Spellman, he's beaten when Cameron Evans slips his marker at the near post and sticks out a leg to divert home a cross from the left. Newport, if they can win this, will be off the bottom - and out of the relegation zone. Ipswich 1-0 Hull And now Lewis Koumas gives away a free-kick for a foul on Darnell Furlong. Ipswich have the chance to run down the clock once more. Doncaster 0-1 Stockport Stockport goalkeeper Corey Addai has taken too long with the ball in his hands. Referee Will Finnie calls it and so Doncaster get a corner. It's not costly as the visitors clear. Ipswich 1-0 Hull Mick Mills Former Ipswich and England captain on BBC Radio Suffolk At this stage Ipswich need to waste as much time as possible, hit it long, hit it wide. Ipswich 1-0 Hull Cody Drameh sends a hopeful ball into the box for Hull but it's got way too much on it and runs out for an Ipswich goal-kick. That will eat up more crucial seconds. Doncaster 0-1 Stockport Doncaster's Matty Pearson picks-up a yellow card for an industrial challenge in Isaac Olaofe. We have 11 minutes remaining in this EFL Trophy semi-final.
