MATCH THREAD: " CARDIFF CITY v FULHAM " MATCH THREAD

Kebano lifts another ball to the back post, but this time it does find Onomah, who smashes it on the half volley on the angle.

Smithies comes out and makes himself big to deny him. Brilliant save from Smithies.

Fulham getting more in to the game

Still 0-0 43mins

Tomlin dinks a ball through to Glatzel, who shrugs off Ream to control well, but it's deemed a foul.

Lee Tomlin for me best City player so far

Hoilett hacks down Christie on the right-hand side and goes in the book. Dangerous free-kick for Fulham, here.

Three minutes added on

Hoilett booked

Fulham totally wasted the free kick

Chance! Hoilett is dispossessed and Fulham break quickly.

Cairney is found in the middle of the park, 25 yards out, and tries to bend one in, but it flicks the post and is just wide!

Agonising for Fulham.

H/T 0-0

HALF-TIME: CARDIFF CITY 0 - 0 FULHAM

After 7 minutes of the extra 3 played and both sides see opportunities

Lost control of the game in the last 15 mins. The last 3rd we were poor and no worries for Fulham defence. Should Valks come on and maybe Paterson?

A very cagey first half. We have to be better in wide positions. Hoilett and Mendez not in at the moment. Simply have to win in this second half as I just cant see us beating Fulham with Mitrovic in the side. Have a sneaky feeling about Ward getting the winner again tonight.

Very nervy final 10 of that half. Anybody else noticed that the ref is blowing up against us for nearly everything?

Think we need to take some sort of lead into the second leg.

Expect that Harris will leave it another 15 or 20 minutes before bringing on Ward and Murphy.

Glatzel 2 good chances which could prove costly as it’s so tight.

Thought we started off well and created a couple of chances but the longer the game has gone on sthe more Fulham are managing us with their passing game and we are creating virtually nothing up front. Hoilett is being more and more a defender as the game has gone on and NML is having a poor game. Just as well Mitrovic is not playing as Fulham are getting more and more crosses into the box. If we don't improve we are going to lose this 0-1. Maybe we need to take a chance and bring on Murphy and either Ward or Patterson. We certainly can't go on as we are at the moment.

Glatzel 2 good chances which could prove costly as it’s so tight.

In fairness the defending was phenomenal for the one on the line.

NML is well off and needs to be sub's he is working hard as cover for Bacuna, but looks shagged when he does get it in their half.

Glatzel is Glatzel, he is not a championship level striker and offers nothing. I'd rather Josh up there, but we have Danny, he needs to come on at 60mins.

Tomlin best player on the pitch.

Bluebirds

Hoilett does well to get his team out of trouble. Glatzel nips inside in his own half and Hector hauls him down, Cardiff free-kick.

Knockaert nicks it past Bennett, who drags back his opponent and is pinged for a foul, which needed to be made to stop the Fulham attack down the right wing.

1nil Fulham

Onomah puts Fulham in front and fantastic football, tore Cardiff's defence to pieces

Game over. Tie over. We needed to win tonight.

Needless; but the boy takes it well

LATEST: CARDIFF CITY 0 - 1 FULHAM

Game over. Tie over. We needed to win tonight.

Jeeeeezzzz!

Nah, we'll slip in 3 down there

What was Morrison doing trying to go through player? Only had to step back and he blocks him off
