Cardiff are beyond Glasgow's 22 after some decent phases but a forward pass by Rey Lee-Lo to Jason Harries curtails their progress.

DTH van der Merwe's try put Glasgow into a strong early lead. Sixteen minutes gone and so far, so good for the visitors.

After losing to Saracens yesterday, Lyon are as good as eliminated already. A win for Glasgow today, especially if it comes with a four-try bonus point, will put them back in the hunt.

Cardiff have kicked for the corner with their first two penalties and they do so again with their third. Glasgow's Jonny Gray jumps highest at the lineout and the ball is back with Warriors.

Cardiff work some phases towards halfway and first Jason Harries then Dillon Lewis spin away from tackles. An attempted grubber kick by Harries is intercepted by Glasgow but knocked forward and Cardiff have the scrum.

Cardiff finally get some territory and win a penalty. They kick to touch and gain some more inches but Glasgow stand firm.

Superb start for Glasgow with those early tries for Adam Hastings and DTH van der Merwe. This is a game they absolutely have to win or else their Champions Cup hopes will lie in tatters. And it’s a game they should win. Glasgow have won in Cardiff six times in the past seven years. Cardiff had a good win in Lyon last weekend, but Glasgow are a better side and they are proving it in the early minutes.

Adam Hastings cannot add the conversion, however, knocking wide from wide on the right.

Glasgow Warriors get things started in Cardiff.

There was a minute's silence pre-match to mark the anniversary of the Aberfan disaster.

Gareth Anscombe scored three penalties and three conversions and also scored a try in last week's win over Lyon.

Adam Hastings enjoyed less fortune with the boot, knocking his first penalty against Saracens wide but securing three points with the next one.

These two sides will see plenty of each other over the next few months.

Their first Pro14 meeting of the season is in Glasgow on 23 November before the Champions Cup return tie, also at Scotstoun, on 13 January.

And they are back in Cardiff on 16 February for another Pro14 encounter.

Cardiff Blues head coach John Mulvihill wants his side to keep up their momentum.

"Last week's performance was superb and we were deserving of what was a really good win to kick off the competition," he said.

"After getting that win on the road, it is vitally important that we back it up at home."

Glasgow Warriors head coach Dave Rennie says today is a "must-win game" for his side.

"Cardiff Blues will bring a lot of line speed," he told BBC Scotland. "They'll attack the ball, Ellis Jenkins is very good post-tackle, they'll have a real mind-set of slowing us down.

"We need to be really good around our ball retention, footwork in the contact, generate really quick ball. They've got a number of x-factor players - Willis Halaholo, Gareth Anscombe are a real handful."
