It was a stalemate when the whistle blue after 90 minutes meaning that the clubs went to extra time. Substitute Dirk Kuyt scored a screamer of a rebound in the 108th minute which looked like it was set to be the victory goal, however with only two minutes left Cardiff found an equaliser through Ben Turner from a scrappy corner.
