    The heavy rain is making things increasingly difficult for both teams at the Cardiff City Stadium.

    Southampton have forced a number of corners in quick succession. They haven't managed to make the most of their set-pieces so far this afternoon.

    Still nothing to separate the two teams as we enter the final half hour.

    Hasenhuttl still isn't happy with Jonathan Moss's decision not to award a penalty for that foul on Stuart Armstrong.

    The former Leipzig boss has been shaking his head in frustration for the last minute or so.

    Cardiff 0-0 Southampton

    This is Southampton's best spell of the game by a considerable margin and the Saints feel they should have a penalty.

    Stuart Armstrong goes down in the area under the challenge of Victor Camarasa, but Jonathan Moss waves play on.

    Armstrong might have had a case there...
