Bluebirds fail to secure a place in the play-offs

Both Cardiff and Swansea City drew in their games yesterday.

Joe Mason put Cardiff City ahead in the first half.

Andy Lonergan went on to deny Kenny Miller and Andrew Taylor, with top-class saves to keep Leeds in the game.

Despite taking the lead, the Bluebirds missed the chance to secure a place in the play-offs, after Luciano Becchio's equaliser for the visitors.

The final score 1-all.

Cardiff now face a nerve wracking last-day finale at Crystal Palace in their bid to finish in the top six.

It was also a draw for Swansea City.

The vistors took just six minutes to take the lead. Scott Sinclair giving them the perfect start.

But it didn't take Bolton long to equalise. Chris Eagles scoring for the home side.

The final score, 1-all.
