18mins, headed away, free kick Mansfield

Great save. Hoilett is given too much space on the edge of the box and he curls an effort towards the top corner, which Logan tips around the post.

After 20 mins, Mansfield as expected did most of the attacking, but as the game goes on Cardiff have started to take control

Pilkington hits an effort goalwards from 25 yards, but it flies wide. 0-0.

Another great chance for Mansfield

Jacob Mellis tears down the left and flashes a ball across the box.

He picks out Hamilton in the box before Rose, but he can’t get a shot away. Rose pounces but his shot is deflected wide by Morrison. Terrific last-ditch defending from the skipper.

Lovely one touch football by the Stags before Mellis' pass is cut out and MacDonald has to be alert to stop the counter attack. 0-0.
