Crysencio Summerville's last-minute equaliser for Leeds United denied Erol Bulut an opening-day win as Cardiff City manager.Goals from debutants Josh Bowler and Ike Ugbo looked to have secured all three points for the Bluebirds, who were forced to hang on for much of the second half after Liam Cooper's headed goal after the break.And just when they thought they had done enough, a deflected shot dropped into Summerville's path.
He swivelled and buried the effort into the bottom corner in the 95th minute. It was a real sucker punch for Cardiff, who thought they had the game wrapped up.Team news for Cardiff was pretty much as you would expect, with five players - Dimitrios Goutas, Ugbo, Bowler, Karlan Grant and Aaron Ramsey - making their full competitive debuts, although it was the third time for Ramsey, of course.
It was a strong-looking bench, too, with the likes of Yakou Meite, Callum Robinson and Kion Etete waiting to make an impact.
Rubin Colwill could only settle for a travelling reserve role. The atmosphere among City supporters pre-kick-off was one of cautious optimism, but the reality is that Elland Road is a fiercely tough place to travel, particularly on the first weekend of the new season.
