Cardiff City continued their promotion party with a 1-0 win over Port Vale at the Cardiff City Stadium, a result that relegated the Valiants back to League Two at the first time of asking. It was the Bluebirds' first game since securing their return to the Championship at the weekend.
Rubin Colwill settled a contest Cardiff had largely controlled, his 79th-minute header sealing all three points and ending Port Vale's slim survival hopes. Jon Brady's side had needed maximum points from their remaining games to avoid an immediate return to the fourth tier.
Cardiff Control but Lack a Cutting Edge
For long periods Cardiff dominated possession and chances without finding the breakthrough their play deserved. Callum Robinson, Joel Colwill and Yousef Salech all went close as the hosts pressed for an opener.
