Crystal Palace boss Dougie Freedman: BBC Sport
"Obviously I'm disappointed with the outcome but the lads were tremendous,
we've won a lot of hearts on the back of that performance.
Cardiff are an outstanding team but we came at them.
Football's not always about passing and movement, it's about hunger and desire.''
We showed some fantastic pace on the break.
We fight for each other and on another night we'd have maybe taken one of our opportunities, but we deserved to take it to penalties. We've come a long way in such a short space of time. We've taken a lot from this and hopefully will move on quickly."
