Cardiff City are on the brink of securing their Championship status for another season after Cedric Kipre's late winner handed them a precious victory over relegation rivals Rotherham United at the New York Stadium.

Kion Etete's header handed the visitors an early lead after Jordan Hugill hit the crossbar, before Chiedozie Ogbene levelled for the hosts.

Kaba then clattered a penalty off the woodwork just before the break, his second straight miss from the spot in as many games, but City weren't to be denied.

The result opens up a six-point gap between Cardiff and the Championship trapdoor with two games left to play, and puts to bed any frustrations from the abandoned clash here back in March.Sabri Lamouchi made just two changes from the draw with Stoke City on Saturday, and indeed from the side that started that doomed first contest in South Yorkshire.
