Cardiff City were denied victory by a stoppage time goal in their first pre-season friendly against Malaysian side Johor Darul Ta'zim in Spain.
After a goalless opening 45 minutes, Cardiff started with a different side for the second half and David Turnbull put them ahead three minutes after the interval.
Johor Darul Ta'zim – also known as the Southern Tigers - equalised just before the hour mark but Rubin Colwill's free-kick three minutes later restored Cardiff's lead .
The Bluebirds were reduced to 10 men with six minutes remaining when Yousef Salech was shown a red card and the opponents scored in stoppage time to earn a draw at the Pinatar Arena in Murcia.
Brian Barry-Murphy's team face National League side Southend United at the Pinatar Arena on Saturday.
