The Terriers controlled possession for the most part, but had very few opportunities to show for it. The only real opening early on came for former Bluebird Danny Ward, who snatched at an instinctive chance following a ricochet, only to send his half-volley over the bar from close range.

Cardiff did well to soak up a lot of the pressure and began to look genuinely dangerous on the break when they turned over
