In chilly conditions, they were slower off the mark, and had to fend off three Huddersfield chances before mustering a response.Harry Bunn had two modest shots on the Reading goal - both caught by Al-Habsi
The midfielder was then part of a sweeping team move involving Wells, with the final shot from Joe Lolley needing a diving Al-Habsi save.Robson-Kanu had first seen a deflected shot easily saved, before Vydra's cut back from a tight angle needed a goal-line clearance from Jason Davidson.However, Town's link-up play was causing problems for Reading, who were again thankful to Al-Habsi on a few occasions
The hosts' positivity was broken up briefly with Tommy Smith's substitution for what appeared to be a foot injury, but the team moves continued, as Davidson and Wells had a shot each saved by Al-Habsi.It was a scrappy end to the first half - Jonathan Hogg and Garath McCleary booked for either side after separate late tackles - while despite the rain, the second half promised more endeavor for Town.And that soon brought the opening goal, Davidson again in the mix with a cross from the left, and Paterson was free to time his jump and head past Al-Habsi.There was controversy when Wells, played in by Lolley, rounded Al-Habsi in the box and went to ground, but referee Jeremy Simpson booked the forward.And the home fans were frustrated further as Vydra popped up at the other end to curl a shot in, which took a deflection on its way to goal.Both goalkeepers then showed their agility, Al-Habsi first tipping over Wells' header, before Joe Murphy kept out Robson-Kanu's fierce effort.The late drama began when Robson-Kanu at last got his reward, as his deflected low shot crept into the net after the ball was pinging around, but in stoppage time Huddersfield got themselves back level.Bunn won the penalty when trying to jink his way through a crowd, and Wells had no problem firing a low spot-kick away
