HALFTIME SCORE: Manchester 0 - Cardiff 1

Min 48: Dusan Vlahovic almost penetrates Heathens's sheilds with a dazzling volley...
        ... a little more power and Barry Venison would have lost his well placed foot.?

        ...he has acres of space but has wandered off-side. 
Min 50: The ball is hooked on towards Ferrán Torres (TNS)...
        ...who takes on David McCreery on the edge of the area...
        ...he's blocked but the rebound falls to Moloko...
        ...who from the edge of the box drills a fine low shot that floats just wide.
Min 53: Elliot Anderson (NHL) sidesteps to make space for himself...
        ...before unleashing an effort from 25 yards...
        ...which Josh Park is able to keep out on the stretch and then grasps.
Min 62: Barry Venison (NHL) leaves half the Cardiff side in his wake...
        ...as he takes the ball from the half-way line...
        ...surges past Davide Calabria ...
        ...but Josh Park is there to stop his weak shot.
Min 62: Josh Park (TNS) brings down Paco Diaz with a clumsy challenge...
        ...he's booked! 
Min 66: The ball is played back towards the box by Paco Diaz (NHL)...
        ...Davide Calabria  heads out...
        ...only for Hatem Ben Arfa to try and audacious first time volley...
        ...which Josh Park has to push over the top.
Min 80: Roy Race and Hatem Ben Arfa weave a neat interchange...
        ...which sees the Frenchman scamper clear...
        ...he outpaces the Cardiff defense and lifts a classy ball high but Josh Park gets a hand to it!
Min 82: Ibrahim Sadiq (TNS) finds Dusan Vlahovic...
        ...but he hesitates and Benny Kristensen (NHL) is able to make the tackle.
