The Bluebirds dominated the opening exchanges, with Yousef Salech netting early to cement the visitors’ command on the game.

But Kieffer Moore offered Cardiff a real scare with his goal just after the break.

However, it was Will Fish who proved the hero at the Racecourse Ground, lashing home his first-ever elling fans, who erupted when the defender’s volley thundered into the back of the net.
