Cardiff City 1 Peterborough United 2: match report Cardiff were angry about the manner in which the free kick came about. Referee David Coote penalised Helguson for what he deemed a high foot. If anything, the decision should have been reversed. Bostwick duly converted and, with Cardiff still complaining, they fell further behind two minutes after the interval. Gayle escaped the clutches of Kevin McNaughton to beat the keeper. Rudy Gestede's last-minute goal was a consolation that did at least set up a grandstand finish. "I thought we got exactly what our performance deserved." said Cardiff manager Malky Mackay. Some things go for you and some against. I thought it was an incredible decision for the first goal. I spoke with the referee at half-time, but he told me he knew why he gave it so I left it at that.
