Wrexham vs Cardiff live: Latest score and updates from all-Welsh Carabao Cup tie

A subdued crowd are allowed a chance to rise as Wrexham earn a throw in an advanced position, but there’s no real urgency or energy, with bodies in the final third limited. Cardiff soon win the ball back and clear.

Off the woodwork via Burton’s hand! Cardiff are all over Wrexham, and if not for their goalkeeper and the frame of the goal, a rasping drive from the left would have doubled the visitors’ lead.

Kept out! On comes the pressure again from Cardiff and Callum Burton is tested once more, Omari Kellyman curling towards the near post and drawing a sharp stop.

You’d say that opener was deserved for Cardiff – they’ve begun proactively, unafraid to take risks in possession and with their press.

A superb save but Yousef Salech is there to finish the job!

Cardiff lead at Wrexham! It’s a lovely move as they sweep through the Wrexham side, and Omari Kellyman looks to have planted a side-footed finish into the corner. Callum Burton somehow claws it out but Salech, an arch-poacher, is on-hand and onside and knocks into the empty net.

Skewed wide! Nathan Broadhead throws his hands to his head, disappointed with his attempt after a Lewis O’Brien shot had fortuitously ricocheted his way. A wild swing of the right foot and away.

Good block! A lovely chop from Rubin Colwill gets him into space inside the box but soon the Wrexham bodies swarm, Conor Coady among those in the firing line to prevent the effort making goalward passage.

Nearly! A bright attack from Wrexham, bypassing the Cardiff midfield with a sharp pass into the feet of Lewis O’Brien. The midfielder drives at the visiting defence and almost slips in Sam Smith, who can’t quite sort his feet out.

Much more like it from the hosts. Ryan Longman gets down the left to test out Kpakio’s defensive acumen, but the 18-year-old right-back is up to the challenge.

Young Ronan Kpakio, well liked by Wales boss Craig Bellamy, attempts to make progress down the right touchline but is squeezed out. Wrexham haven’t really found their footing yet, with Cardiff still on the offensive.
