MATCH THREAD: CARDIFF CITY v SHEFFIELD UNITED " MATCH THREAD

Cardiff's defence has stood up to the rigours of the Blades' attack thus far. More solid work from Rinomhota earns City a goal kick.

The Bluebirds defend a corner resolutely and a cock-up by the United attacker sees the ball mid-kicked for a Bluebird goal-kick…

City attacking

Another good move from the Bluebirds ends up with a corner…

The resulting kick causes havoc in the Sheffield goalmouth but the referee sees an infringement(?) and gives the Blades a free-kick…

Better from the Bluebirds though…

The Blades then tear up the other end and a low cross-goal shot is wide of the Bluebird goal…

Cardiff went napping then

A short corner routine results in Hamer blazing a low shot just wide of the upright.

Poor support by United, Never sold out their first allocation

Siopis booked for what was adjudged to have been pulling Hamer's shirt while on the break.

Hamer bundles Willock over after a long, impressive run up the wing. Bond this time awards a goal kick and the CCS crowd are up in arms that it isn't a foul.

Siopis inexplicably booked for doing his job; stopping an attack…!

Thankfully, the resulting free-kick is tame and the Bluebirds tear down the other end only to be unjustly punished with a free-kick…

This is end-to-end stuff now, as the Blades threaten again…

Sheffield just messed up a brilliant chance

Davies' strike takes a strong deflection. Thankfully it is cleared by Daland.

It's gone about as well as Cardiff could have hoped. They would have come into this one wanting to restrict the visitors' chances while hoping to hit them on the break. They've done the first part pretty well so far.

Well Gents it’s 0-0 after 35mins , we’ve held them well

Rak-Sakyi with a looping cross to the back post, but Moore can't get enough on the header - wide.

Ref not giving us much here yet they're getting a free kick if we look at them the wrong way.

Another foul against Cardiff. We are doing to many of these

A good spell by Cardiff

Decent little build-up pattern from Cardiff there, without much to come from it. The chance ends with a sloppy ball from Siopis towards Rinomhota, which runs out for a goal kick.

Meite with an audacious effort from 40 yards, with Cooper off his line, but it's about 15 yards over the crossbar.

Yakou Meite puts in a signal to Warren Gatland, as he kicks a beauty between the pasts; sadly for us, rugby posts…!
