Match report: Cardiff City 0-1 Bristol City
Josh Brownhill’s stunning strike earned Bristol City their first win on Cardiff territory for 17 years, lifting the Robins to sixth in the Championship.
The on-field captain blasted in a right-footed shot from distance to take the three points back to Bristol.
The Bluebirds would it the woodwork three times at a chilly Cardiff City Stadium but ultimately they had little response to Brownhill’s second-half moment of brilliance.

“I know we hadn’t won here for a long time so I think that one was definitely for the fans,” Brownhill said in his post-match interview with Robins TV.
“It was a tough game. We know what they are about, we know they are going to cause problems with the players they have, the way they play but I thought we were excellent. We deserved the win and we defended very well.”
City head coach Lee Johnson added: “It’s a great day and the boys are buzzing. It gives them a four-day rest now, though obviously the internationals go away, but they can all feel good about themselves for a warrior-like performance.
“Was it a classic in terms of slick, champagne football? Absolutely not, but we have come away to a difficult place and got the result and, as you can hear, the boys are very happy with that.”
