TODAYS DERBY GAME ENDED IN A HARD FOUGHT WIN FOR THE BLUEBIRDS

Cardiff fans made the atmosphere electric before the game had even started.

Both teams wanted to win this game badly and Cardiff had to defend for long periods of the game.

But what a great win and the play offs look closer than ever.

Cardiff fans celebrated at the end with the players loving every minute of the celebrations.

At last not far to travel to watch our Bluebirds with Cardiff looking for a play-off place and Bristol City trying to stay out of the bottom three,both clubs were going to be well up for it today.
A quite start by both sides, then in the 21st min Lex Immers slotted the ball awayto make it 0-1 Cardiff and send the Cardiff fans delirious,with Immers running over to the 1,400 City fans to celebrate.

Bristol then had more of the possession for the first half but without creating to many clear cut chances .

Cardiff never looked really under threat.

Bristol C 54% City 46% possession

Half-time Bristol 0 City 1

At half time Morrison came on for Lee Peltier
Bristol City took control of the game and had Cardiff on the ropes for quite a while.

70th min Craig Noone replace Peter Whittingham.

Just as Bristol City were all over us Okeefe headed in after Keeper saved Malone shot 0-2 Cardiff 83rd min.
Full time Bristol C 0 CCFC 2

My Man of the match Lex Immers.

Up Next Leeds United at home Tuesday night.
