Newport County and Carlisle United battled it out in a tense and fiercely contested match at Rodney Parade, Casnewydd, on February 11th, 2025, in a League Two fixture (round 19). Despite Carlisle dominating possession (60%), the game was characterized by indiscipline, with four yellow cards for the visitors and one for the home side. Carlisle created more goal-scoring opportunities, registering 17 shots (5 on target), while Newport County managed only 8 shots (1 on target). However, Newport County’s clinical finishing proved decisive. A goal by K. Hudlin in the 76th minute, assisted by B.
