Huddersfield 0-0 Cardiff City

I pity whoever watched all 90 minutes of this game. A point went to each team but neither really deserved it. The most exciting moment was when Jonathan Hogg was sent off for a head-bump on Harry Arter. This should have been when Cardiff City stretched ahead with an extra man but alas, it was to be goalless. Huddersfield held on with 10 men for well over 30 minutes and came away with a point. This was in spite of the fact that Cardiff shot 14 times.

This should be especially worrying to Cardiff City. They might be feeling déjà vu after their last match against Newcastle. In that game, Cardiff also had an extra man and still failed to score a goal. What we have just witnessed is like two boxers going for a punch, totally missing each other, and falling flat on their faces. This game may have been between two of the teams that will be relegated.
