Time:120'- Cardiff City
- Burton Albion
120+2 Full time at Cardiff City Stadium, and the hosts end up with a very flattering 4-1 win against Burton Albion, despite a rough 105 minutes of football
118' GOAL! What a shame for Burton Albion, whose hard work has been completely undone by a tired, limp ten minutes of defending. Cardiff score again with an achingly simple attack: Koumas played in Chopra, who slotted the ball easily underneath Legzdins.- 110' GOAL! It's all over now, and again it's Ross McCormack! The striker - heavily linked with a move to Ipswich over the last couple of days - found space on the edge of the area before powering a low shot straight into the bottom corner
- 107' GOAL! Cardiff substitute McCormack breaks the deadlock! His strike flashes in off the post, and he's surely put the Bluebirds through to the second round of the Carling Cup!
- 105' Half time in extra time at the Cardiff City Stadium! Still level here, and there have been some very weary efforts on goal! Penalties look increasingly likely...
- 102' Chopra continues to provide an outlet for Cardiff but again fails to force a save from the keeper, firing his shot over the bar from inside the area. It's going to take a moment of brilliance to avoid penalties, and it's hard to see who's going to provide it at the moment!
- 95' Drinkwater sends a left-foot shot wide of the left stick for Cardiff, before Preen attacks and swings a cross into the Cardiff box which Heaton gathers! Both teams working hard at the moment, but still failing to threaten a winning goal
91' We're back underway in Cardiff! Chopra has the first chance of the period for the hosts, but it's deflected wide by Stanton
88' Still 1-1 in Cardiff, though Ross McCormack just had the ball in the net for the Bluebirds! The linesman - correctly - flagged his effort offside, and Hartlepool survive!- 79' Cardiff enjoying the lions' share of possession at the Cardiff City Stadium, but without making the breakthrough
- 69' Burton could snatch this! Pearson should have done better in front of goal for the hosts, while Whittingham blasted a long range effort over the bar. Could go either way, which is good news for Albion fans
- 63' Burton are putting up a good fight at the Cardiff City Stadium! Neither side looks like taking a lead, and we could be heading for extra time in Wales
- 58' Having removed goalscorer Jay Bothroyd, at half time, Cardiff have been forced to replace defender Adam Matthews too. Burton Albion don't look like surrendering this match any time soon!
- 51' Jimmy Phillips puts in a decent cross for Burton Albion, but Gabor Gyepes heads clear. Neither side looking like taking the lead at the moment
34' Russell Penn is the first name into the book tonight, for unsporting behaviour- 27' Whittingham has a decent chance just inside the area for Cardiff, but sees his shot sail harmlessly over the bar. After a frantic couple of minutes, this game has a settled down somewhat
- 19' GOAL! Game on for Burton Albion, who were behind for just two minutes! Harrad snatches the equaliser for the League Two side
- 16' GOAL! Whittingham's assist has a whiff of offside about it, but Jay Bothroyd doesn't complain as he knocks the cross in past Legzdins to give Cardiff the lead!
- 5' Cardiff have started the brighter, with Jay Bothroyd missing a decent chipped chance inside the opening five minutes
- 1' And, in the final Carling Cup match this evening, Cardiff are off against Burton Albion, who are meeting for the first time in the clubs' history!
