Swansea 1-0 Cardiff

Ryan Giles crosses straight at Ben Hamer from a free-kick.
Unforgivable for Cardiff to waste set-piece chances.

This is Jamie Paterson's first south Wales derby and he did not need long to make his mark.
His glorious finish from 25 yards is one of the finest goals seen in this fixture in recent memory.
Swansea are fortunate to be in front, but their fans are enjoying themselves for the moment.
Inevitably, there have been chants about the prospect of Mick McCarthy losing his job. A long way to go in this game yet, mind you.

The goal was so good.
It hits the inside of both posts before going in.
Alex Smithies could do nothing to stop that one.

Jason Perry
Former Cardiff defender on BBC Radio Wales

The only way Cardiff can win is by the game turning ugly.
Cardiff at the moment now are starting to look blunt in that attacking third.

Swansea 1-0 Cardiff

That's a goal that will be replayed for many a year if you're a Swans fan.
Cardiff must now do what no side has managed in the south Wales derby since 2010, score once the other side have.
It has tended to be score first and win for the past decade.
'Lovely strike'published at 30 mins

Ian Walsh
Former Swansea striker on BBC Radio Wales

It's a good bit of play from Swansea. They built up the pressure on the Cardiff defence.
Paterson started the move and he finished it off.
It's a lovely strike from the edge of the area.
GOAL - Swansea 1-0 Cardiffpublished at 29 mins
Jamie Paterson

What a hit!
Cardiff could not clear after Alex Smithies' fine save and Jamie Paterson gets possession 25 yards out to hammer the ball in off the inside of the post as it rolls across the line.
A huge, huge goal for the hosts.
CLOSE!published at 28 mins
Swansea 0-0 Cardiff

Ben Hamer cuts out an Ethan Laird cross.
Then Jamie Paterson finds space in the penalty area and Alex Smithies makes a brilliant save.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 25 mins
Swansea 0-0 Cardiff

Cardiff are nullifying Swansea by constantly swarming around Flynn Downes. He can't get on the ball.
We also now have our first yellow card, Cardiff midfielder Leandro Bacuna into the book for a foul on Jamie Paterson.

There is space either side of these Swansea centre-halves.
There's space on the outside for Ryan Giles and Kieffer Moore to get at them.
This break in play gives Swansea the opportunity to get them some vital information.

Swansea 0-0 Cardiff

Ryan Bennett is back on the field, he's going to try and run it off.
Ben Cabango's warming-up intensely though.

Swansea 0-0 Cardiff

Swansea keeper Ben Hamer did brilliantly to deny Ryan Giles, but the Cardiff man really should have scored - here's the evidence from earlier.

If I'm playing against that Swansea back three, I'd be having a happy day.
They're not at it.

Ryan Bennett is still down and Ben Cabango looks to be getting ready to come on.

You'd come to a game like this every weekend to get an atmosphere like this.
