MATCH THRE: “ CARDIFF CITY v ROTHERHAM UNITED " MATCH THREAD

Salech pinged for a afoul on Denzel Hall. He's had a few of them already this season, in those aerial duels.

Tanner wins a corner.

Cardiff attacking from the start

Good delivery from Turnbull, Colwill gets something on it but it's over the bar

Dawson punches it off Tanner's head. Another dangerous corner, though.

Positive start from City

Brilliant pass from Mafico to slide in Tanner, whose pulled-back cross is half-intercepted. It falls into a dangerous area and Salech swivels and hits, but Raggett and Dawson manage to keep it out.

Good start. Had a number of half chances already.

It’s all Cardiff

Rotherham attack



Lawlor with a good headed clearance from a dangerous cross.

Rubin with a delightful, left-footed crossfield ball to mount an attack - Ashford just cannot control it.

Dan Gore flies through Mafico with a bone-crunching challenge. Tanner looks to have nicked the second ball off him, but the referee gives a foul on Gore. Dangerous position.

Lawlor heads clear again . Started strongly, the centre-back.

So close! Tanner with a lovely corner straight to Turnbull on the edge of the box. Turnbull hits it well, but just inches wide. (0-0)

Ar'jany Martha in the book for a poor challenge on Turnbull.

Mafico outmsucled there by Gore. Couple of times that's happened for the youngster.

Happening to often

They needed that water break

Fish tries a pitching wedge over the top of the defence for Colwill - but it's just out of his range and Dawson gathers.

Rotheram getting into the game a lot more now & we're starting to be pushed back.

Another mistake from Mafico, who goes in the book. Gets squared up by Martha and brings him down clumsily. Free-kick to the visitors.

Looks like he's coming off.

Mafico off, Bagan on

Just as well before he gets sent off.

Lawlor, who is having a really strong first half, heads it off Hugill. More really positive defending from the centre-back

Nice header by Salech from the corner.

Deserved this lead

That Salach goal was just what City needed. Playing well, but sometimes guilty of overplaying/ overpassing.
