” TONIGHTS CARDIFF GAME HAD IT ALL ”

BUT A POOR LEEDS UNITED BEAT CARDIFF CITY TO END OUR 13 MATCH UNBEATEN HOME RECORD

Fabio sent off, own goal? , hit the post, in some parts of the game ill tempered and a blatant hand ball, with City having over 20 shots.

Cardiff fans applauded their team off at the end.

We honestly never deserved to lose the game.

Craig Noone was outstanding when he came on as sub, but unfortunately it was not enough,

Leeds first win at Cardiff since 1984

Cardiff City went in to this game with only one defeat in their last nine games and undefeated at home for 13 games, whilst Leeds United have been on a bumpy ride,staying in the bottom half of the League all season.

The opening 15mins was end to end with both teams looking for an early goal.

A great free kick by Whittingham in the 26th min saved by the Leeds goalie.

It all went wrong in the 37th when Leeds tore Cardiff’s sleeping defence wide open and scored thanks to a Fabio own goal? ? to make it 0-1.

Half-time CCFC 0 LUFC 1
Lex Immers had a shot saved in the 52nd min.

A blatant Leeds handball was turned down in the 56th min and for me City should of had a penalty.

61st min Craig Noone came on for Peter Whittingham

Then it got even worse for Fabio who got sent off in the 63rd min for what looked like just a basic foul well over exegerated by the Leeds player.
Immers hit the post in the 68th min.

Ralls had a shot saved in the 74th min.
75th min Sammy Ameobi came for Lawrence.

City continued to attack the Leeds United goal.

In the 94th min Leeds made it 0-2 against the run of play.

FULL TIME CCFC 2 LUFC 0

Man of the Match Lex Immers.
