Ipswich Town made the most of a dominant opening 45 minutes to edge past Charlton Athletic at The Valley this afternoon.
The visitors spurned a gilt-edged chance to go ahead from the spot on 17 minutes following Emmanuel Frimpong's foul on Lee Martin. Campbell stepped up but failed to the find the target with a wayward penalty.
Aaron Cresswell threatened for Ipswich throughout the first 45 minutes, while Campbell was denied once again by a smart save from Ben Hamer.
Mick McCarthy's side finally took the lead 10 minutes before the interval when Campbell reacted quickest in a crowded box after Daryl Murphy's initial cutback.
Charlton struggled to create chances in the opening period but came close to a goal through Dale Stephens, who watched his fierce free kick come back off the post.
Just moments before half time Ipswich doubled their advantage when Murphy tucked home a rebound from close range.
The home side responded after the break and reduced the deficit with a spot kick of their own 20 minutes from time through former Tractor Boy Danny Haynes.
Second-half substitute Bradley Pritchard spurred Charlton on in the closing stages but they were unable to force a late equaliser.
