Cardiff City 1 Leeds United 1: match report Thereafter, Cardiff pushed on in pursuit of the goal that would hopefully settle their nerves. It came 12 minutes later when Peter Whittingham's through ball saw Mason finish with aplomb. It was the 20-year-old's ninth league goal of the season and the perfect way to celebrate his new four-year deal. Mark Hudson, who scored from his own half in the 2-0 defeat of Derby in midweek, headed over after 55 minutes and Liam Lawrence wasted a golden opportunity to set up Mason shortly after. But just as they have on so many previous occasions this season, Cardiff relinquished the lead in disappointing fashion. Robert Snodgrass chased a lost cause before setting up Connolly for a cross that Becchio glanced into David Marshall's far corner. Cardiff set off in search of a late winner, but despite plenty of possession in the final third, they lacked a finishing touch. Mason and Kenny Miller were both a constant threat, but with legs tiring, the Bluebirds missed their chance and must now sit and wait.
