So Cardiff have an early lead - and as a result we have seen another tribute to Sala.

After Bobby Decordova-Reid beat Artur Boruc from the penalty spot, the Cardiff players ran en masse to the home dugout.

There they held up a T-shirt adorned with Sala's image - and Cardiff's fans responded with applause.

Claims for another handball from Cardiff players against Steve Cook!

Sol Bamba was convinced his header struck the Bournemouth defender's arm - think it might've been thigh this time...

Oumar Niasse is proving a great outlet for the hosts. It's good work from the on-loan forward again to win his side a corner.

What was Steve Cook thinking there for the penalty? The Bournemouth defender just dangled an arm in the air and it struck his hand.

Great start from Cardiff.

Handball!

Jon Moss took time to think about it, but gives it!

And it's an early chance for the Everton loanee!

Oumar Niasse goes striding clear of the Bournemouth defence after a ball over the top drops into his path, the striker prods goalwards but Artur Boruc is out quickly to block the shot.

Bournemouth looking for the patient approach early on, Cardiff opting to go a touch more direct looking for Oumar Niasse.

Right, here we go.

Bournemouth get this one under way.

Cardiff City's tributes to their missing striker Emiliano Sala are in full swing at the stadium.

The home supporters are holding up yellow, white and light blue squares, paying tribute to the Argentine, who joined from Nantes.

Both captains carried out bouquets of flowers and the Cardiff staff, from management to the media team, are spread across the touchline ahead of a moment of reflection, where fans will fall silent in tribute.

PA announcer Geraint Hardy is explaining the situation to the fans.

There will be a period of reflection at the City of Cardiff Stadium before kick-off. An emotional time for all connected to the Bluebirds. Both sets of players join arms with their team-mates around the centre circle.

The tragic disappearance of striker Emiliano Sala will affect everyone emotionally at the City of Cardiff stadium.

I was fortunate enough to regularly see Sala playing for Nantes over the past three and a half years in my role as a Ligue 1 commentator for BT Sport.

The Argentine striker looked to be a good fit for Cardiff to help in their attempt to move out of the bottom three, and this would have been his home debut.

Bournemouth arrive on the back of their hugely impressive win over Chelsea. However, the day will all be about one man who will not be there in person, but will be in everyone's thoughts and prayers.

Cardiff City players have been warming up in T-shirts with Emiliano Sala on.

Both captains now lay flowers in the middle of the pitch.

Bournemouth

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe: "The win against Chelsea will hopefully launch us into a new feeling that we can beat and compete against the top six.

"I think we have done that this year in terms of performances - the results haven't matched that.

"But first and foremost it is Cardiff... we just want to send all of our best wishes to Emiliano's family, Cardiff City supporters and everyone connected with the club. We are thinking of them during this time."

Neil Warnock says he was pleased to sign Reading midfielder Leandro Bacuna before Thursday's deadline, adding that the Bluebirds' 2-1 midweek defeat at Arsenal helped him to focus on football again.

The 70-year old manager told the BBC on Monday he had thought about quitting his job "24 hours a day, seven days a week" since Emiliano Sala disappeared.

"I think my heart was in it again this week. Bacuna is a player I really worked hard on, I was determined to get something like that over the line," he said.

"I think he will be a fan favourite here long after I have gone."

Bacuna is on the bench today.

There are daffodils wherever you look at the Cardiff City Stadium this evening.

Cardiff are handing them out to everyone attending this game as a tribute to Emiliano Sala and pilot David Ibbotson.

The daffodil is the flower of Wales and also has significance for Sala's former club Nantes, who wear yellow.
