Cardiff City vs Tottenham Hotspur

FULL TIME: A brave effort by the plucky underdogs - you've heard it all before and more than likely now Spurs will comeplte the all too predictable story by beating Cardiff when they play then back in north London. With a little more care in front of goal though Cardiff would have won this match. It was not to be however and Spurs are unlikely to play as poorly in the replay.

Malbranque is brought down by Flood and Spurs are now in no hurry to take the free-kick. They will take their chances back at White Hart Lane.

Gleen Loovens has been awarded the man of the match award and the Cardiff defence have all been on top of their game today.

Berbatov once more gets a firm header to the corner and Spurs can breathe once more.

Good deep cross from Ledley finds Thompson. He can't direct his header though. Ledley gets it back and his shot is blocked for another Cardiff corner.

Flood's corner is poor and Chimbonda gets to it first to head it away.

Lee is being replaced by Anthony Gardner.

Chimbonda makes a clumsy challenge of McNaughton and Cardiff get a corner out of it.

The game is dissolving in to quite a scrappy afair with neither side able to stamp their authority on it. One mistake or piece of skill will win this.

Lee is brought down by Gilbert as he skipped down the left flank.

Huddlestone is fouled in his own half and Spurs get the free-kick.

Lennon clatters in to McPhail to give away the free-kick.

Jermaine Defoe comes off to be replaced by Robbie Keane.

Spurs are pushing up more now and clearly don't fancy the replay. Their defenders are playing in the Cardiff half and the home side are being put under a bit of pressure now.

Lennon gets the ball back after Cardiff clear the corner but his touch is heavy and he directs the ball out of play in to the Cardiff crowd. One of whom incidentally has let off a huge flare.

Lennon does well down the right and his cross is cleared behind for a corner.

Firm header by Dawson up towards Lennon but it is a little too firm and goes out for a Cardiff throw.

Spurs play their way out of defence nicely and are keeping the ball well much to the annoyance of the home crowd. It eventually finds it's way up to Berbatov but he can't control the pass and Cardiff get it back.

Malbranque tries a spectacular bicycle kick which is not too far wide of the goal. But it is wide.

McPhail's ball is hit towards nobody other than Dawson and he receives a shout to leave it so Robinson can collect.

The attendance is announced to a huge round of applause. Cardiff's biggest crowd since they knocked Leeds out of the FA Cup. And what a wonderful advertisement for harmony between opposing football fans that day was.

Thompson chests it down to Ledley on the edge of the Spurs box. His shot is firmly struck but is also well wide.

Defoe is caught offside, then checks his run so it does not happen a second time. The Cardiff defence have played the rule well this evening.

Aaron Lennon has come on and Spurs will be hoping that gives them the impetus to score the goal which in all likelihood would now win this tie.

Dawson is steady at the back to block Flood's long ball towards Chopra and head it back to Robinson.
