Min 0: Cardiff opens up with a 4-2-4 E while the Reds will play a 4-4-2 S.
Min 0: Today's referee is Steve Turner (STRONG/STRICT).
Min 6: Ryan Brobbel almost penetrates Reds's sheilds with a dazzling volley...
        ... a little more power and Billy Jones would have lost his well placed foot.?
Min 11: Superb sliding block by Jordan Marshall (TNS) denies John McGinn a sure goal...
        ...after great work from Rondaldo in the Cardiff box.
Min 19: Jesrun Uchegbulan volleys a powerful shot from the right...
        ...Nigel Spinks gets a touch but can't stop it...
        ...but his touch causes it to drift out of danger.
Min 21: Isaac Jefferies (TNS) takes the ball into the Reds half...
        ...chips a great ball over three defenders to find Ryan Brobbel...
        ...who can't get it past Nigel Spinks.
Min 23: Superb sliding block by Jack Bodenham (TNS) denies Andy Gray a sure goal...
        ...after great work from Rondaldo in the Cardiff box.
Min 27: Jesrun Uchegbulan (TNS) booked for what looked like an unintentional handball.
Min 30: The ball is chipped back to the far post...
        ...where two Cardiff players are waiting...
        ...Jack Nadin (TNS) out jumps Jordan Williams ...
        ...and his looping header drifts over Nigel Spinks...
        ...and is caught by a fan in the 7th row.
Min 36: Period of head tennis in the middle of the pitch...
        ...finally a ball is played along the ground towards Andy Gray (HLR)...
        ...but the impressive Joshua Daniels (TNS) is able to get the ball back to Reece Thompson.
Min 37: Andy Gray (HLR) does well to turn on the edge of the box...
        ...only to see his shot blocked by Joshua Daniels (TNS).
Min 45: Great tackle by Steve Stone (HLR)...
        ...to prevent Ryan Brobbel (TNS) from latching onto Jesrun Uchegbulan's pass.

HALFTIME SCORE: Cardiff 0 - Villa 0

Min 47: The ball lands at the feet of Ben Clark (TNS) on the edge of the box...
        ...he instictively fires a bullet shot through a crowded penalty area...
        ...Nigel Spinks does well to position himself and collect.
Min 48: The Ref pulls Ryan Brobbel (TNS) up for spitting? Surely he can't be serious??
Min 52: Isaac Jefferies (TNS) receives a deep pass from Ben Wilson...
        ...the referee whistles an offside!!!...
        ...the American player was chatting with Nigel Spinks when he received the pass!!...
        ...the fans from Cardiff aren't happy with his lack of concentration.
Min 53: Jack Bodenham(TNS) limps off the pitch ALL 3 Subs already used!!!
Min 53: With Villa so far forward a rare Cardiff break sees Ben Clark play a long diagonal pass for Ben Wilson...
        ...he has acres of space but has wandered off-side. 
Min 64: Rhys Hughes weaves his way through the Villa defense......
        ...he checks the keeper's position...
        ...he'll take a chance on his own and ignore assistance from his flank......
        ...and the shot falls harmlessly into the arms of Nigel Spinks!?
Min 67: The ball is crossed in and Ian Martson heads away but only to Ben Clark (TNS)...
        ...a neat hit but it falls wide.
Min 69: Brilliant play by Jesrun Uchegbulan (TNS) on the right...
        ...he whizzes clear and crosses low for Ben Wilson...
        ...who plants a superb shoot but its right at Nigel Spinks.
Min 74: Jesrun Uchegbulan almost penetrates Reds's sheilds with a dazzling volley...
        ... a little more power and Ian Martson would have lost his well placed foot.?
Min 75: Ryan Brobbel (TNS) puts in a cross...
        ...but Steve Stone (HLR) clears with ease.
Min 81: Cheeky back heel from Rhys Hughes to release Isaac Jefferies in the box...
        ...but the American is correctly ruled to have been off-side.
