MATCH THREA: " WIGAN ATHLETIC v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THREAD

Allsop bangs a long ball towards harris, who looks to be through on goal, but the ball ricochets off his back and slows him down! That would have been seriously route one...

Harris again the architect, tries to slide in Robinson, but just puts too much on it and Amos collects.

A bit frantic, a bit end-to-end at the minute. Nkounkou is pinned for a strong tackle on Darikwa and Wigan have a free-kick 35 yards from goal on the far flank.

Another foul, this time Rinomhota on Power, right on the touchline on the far side. Another chance for Wigan's towering players to try and get a head on one.

Rinomhota gets a head on it, it's a corner.

Ralls clears the corner. Bit of a bombardment here.

Huge penalty shout from the Latics for a challenge on Wyke from Simpson. Looked like a 50/50 on first glance.

Becoming niggly / loads of fouls

Bennett with a lumped ball over the top to Magennis, who hits a cross and it's dangerous, but Simpson belts it behind for a corner.

Oh what a chance for Cardiff! Robinson chips a ball over the top and Harris is through on goal. He decides to take a shot on goal, but Robinson is on his own in the middle of the box, he has to square it to him, but his shot is dragged wide.

Robinson is off for Ojo just after that.

Power in the book for a tackle on Rinomhota.

What’s happened to Robinson?

City got the early goal and had to have their backs to the wall for most of the half, defended well and thankfully Wigans finishing awful


H-T 0-1

Never seen a team whine and complain so much to the ref as Wigan!

Wigan corner. Magennis cross deflected off Kipre.

Save! Ng lifts a ball over the top and O'Dowda is through. He cuts inside and smacks one at goal, but Amos is strong and parries wide.

Dirtiest team I think we’ve played so far too.

Good from Cardiff. Corner is cleared but Wintle hooks a pass out to Ralls. Ralls plays a reverse pass to Ng, whose blasted low cross is deflected over. Another corner.

Keane clears the corner, Rinomhota hits it first time, but it's wide.

Route one from Wigan. Magennis and Simpson battle and the ball goes over both of them. Darikwa sends a cross in but Kipre does well to deflect it behind.

Whatmough is the target from the corner, but his header is over.

Amos drops a cross and Ojo gets there to poke it towards goal, but doesn't get enough on it and it's cleared.

Ralls does well, sending Harris through down the wing. He hits a low cross and it's turned behind before O'Dowda can latch on to it.

Ralls booked. Goes through the back of Power.

Good break from Cardiff through O'Dowda and Ojo, the latter playing in Harris, he tries to cut inside but is tackled well.

Ojo causing problems. He skins his marker and sends in a dangerous ball, but it's cleared.

Ralls booked. Goes through the back of Power.

The goal we area attacking is 2inches taller than it should be.Just on sky sports.

Shinnie gets a yellow. Barged O'Dowda into the advertising hoardings.

O'Dowda is also booked, somehow? Someone explain that to me, please?

BBC wales commentary is totally crap. Wrexham, jacks, newport, wales league. We are not interested, just comment on Cardiff.

GOAL! OJOOOOO
