EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS: Cardiff City 3-5 Southampton | Carabao Cup

welcome to the cardish City Stadium everybody it's not the most glamorous night in the calendar The League Cup early rounds of course in August but we know that with this young team that sampton have picked tonight there are plenty of reasons to be cheerful and plenty of reasons for them to perform well so can they really impose themselves they're on the ball now here's Archer he squares it to dibling Midway inside the Cardiff half right to center shoots early first shot on target it was very tame in the end from diblin who stuffed it rather easy for Jack anik in the Cardiff goal and his bright orange kit but there we go purposeful positive start and dibbling not surprising yeah and I think it suits him better to play in a 433 like we are playing now that but not on the right wing where he was last year now he's driving held off a couple of challenges squares it to Archer low shot one nil Southampton what a brilliant start 9 Minutes gone and it's a really nice goal as well and it is Matas Fernandez on his full debut for Saints who fires it low and the Portuguese has made an instant impact in the Southampton Shir after joining from sporting last week Saints lead Cardiff and it's a goal fashion by the kids and scored by the kids Cardiff breaking it's nice play in the end and then Kian Ashford has it down the left hand side and he's shown good speed he's driven down that left wing then he's tackled the referee says that's a foul from Leslie okuoku and it's a free kick to Cardiff cwell is over it rben cwell will he take it he will right footed from the left he drills it low but straight to Joe lumy was he actually trying to catch him out from the touch line it'll go down as a shot on target I think as lumy clears early towards Archer if he wins this one in the air it might fall nicely for samor and he's still on goal samor goalie comes out goes round him and just lose his possession and the goal he did well in the end Jack an it just got a touch and took it away from him but that long ball from lumbley and the defender was in trouble struggle with the bounce kakio Roto and uh then Cardiff get it back down the left hand side it goes Roto operating out there now gets it back inside to the young striker rain DWF gets to the edge of the Box held up still they keep the ball Cardiff it's about as good as they've been then coell lashes it oh it's a fabulous strike he lashes it in off the crossbar Joe Lumley didn't move when like an absolute rocket from fully 25 yds out at least 25 Ys out and that's a goal good enough to win a match far better than the League Cup second round Saints pretty much in control Joe until that card if equalizer came out of the blue and Taylor has it he's got the experience one of those players can he drive the youngsters on little back heels clever towards Archer back to Taylor it's brilliant football and it's a fantastic goal a really really wellwork goal a thing abusive from St Anton and Sam Amo Amayo has his first senior goal for Saints side footing it in left footed from the edge of the D after a lovely buildup play and some beautiful touches inside the penalty area three or four players involved and the move polished off beautifully and that will please Russell Martin it's Cardiff one sampton 2 Matas Fernandez so showing some grit to go with his skill and C wheel's done well to turn away from the attentions of wood and he's found Kean Ashford Ashford tackled though by dibling who did well this time getting back to make that defensive tack tack Le and it goes past him to cwell again Huga choku follows him he goes square across the pitch good play Pacquiao has it out to con Rahim con crosses it from the right and it's back healed it's back into his own net I think of the unfortunate Ronnie Edwards I think Lumley has palmed it onto Edwards and it's gone back off Edwards and drawn Cardiff level good cross on the right from con but an absolute mess at the back for Southampton and we are all square again in the Cardiff City Stadium in the second round of the League Cup well they got two goals Cardiff and hardly put together an attack all evening here's Fernandez from a good chucko gets it to ad do he in the Box surely oh he's put it wide he's put it back onto his right foot and he hasn't curled it inside the post and I think he's either going to take that with his left foot and score or once he's com in onto his right that should have been a goal for my money he's taken the defender out and he's just splashed it across the sixy Box Bri out to Sam Amor who got Saint second goal Sam amamo tries to line up his Defender goes square again to the edge of the D this is where it's breaks down and then that's a good ball in turn and shot and Cameron Archer is off and running as a samon player as well really good crisp strike played down the side of him nicely and he spun and hit it and Saints have got the lead back again in this game for the third time it is Cardiff 2 soton three and Cameron Archer gets his first goal for the club cwell squares it ban goes out onto this left wing pops it out to Kian Ashford Cardiff attacking the empty stand away to my left good ball at the back post lovely shot what a goal that is this game's got everything six goals to boot now and the header back into the path of the player to smash it was brilliant and Alex Robertson the former pompy player has scored barely a minute after AR Archer has given Saints the lead and there's a good ball through here's Archer's Pace lovely ball from dibling Archer into the box on the left blue shirts going back he's looking to twist and turn he might get the shot away now and he's screwed it slightly wide but only because he got a deflection it's a saint Corner you've come out with all the phrases tonight Joe C turn rabona you've had you've had them all oh that's poor play and Saints have been robbed and Nathan wood well it's Advantage the referee says should have been probably a red Here Comes Ashford oh and he's put it wide he has he's not even a uh I think it's going to be a yellow and Nathan wood will never rarely get a better yellow than that he has basically held on to rindorf shorts and shirt for about five yards and the others have said Well Done mate for taking the yellow Lumley plays it to Wood he looks up and then botv has to chip it away from trouble but Robertson intercepts it he's made an impact since he's come on as well then he get that brilliantly past Saint and now he gives it to rorf rindorf on the edge of the D shot comes in it's just wide that was a chance Cody TW drilled that from 20 yards out Lumley flung himself to his right and it's a goal kick to sampton and we breathe again back out to dibling on this right wing level with the edge of the Cardiff box dibling drifts in field away from us little short ball to the Lana looking for the return ball still got it dibbling and then the late challenge comes in from on ban him and dibling almost go chest to chest it's going to be a corner to Saints referees going to have a word with the pair dibling just needs to keep his uh cool yeah and we're going to have five minutes now that might help Salon the way they've got themselves back into the ascendency of it so corner on this right taken short by Sam ammo gets it back off dibling plays it back in field to Bri he'll lift it in first time headed Away by Cardiff nicely done and then Bri Vol is it oh my goodness me what a way to win a game with your first goal for the club a dipping rasping volley from 22 yards out James B will never score a better goal it's Cardiff three Southampton four that'll put a seal on it that'll put a seal on any game what a strike from James Bri sainta going through to the third round of the League Cup brilliant stuff now here is dibling driving through the half plays it into archer in the Box sh it's early game over Cameron Archer second southampton's Fifth and they might have had their problems in this second half but they have finished strong Saints and that's always important Archer scores dibbling at the heart of it again and Southampton have beaten Cardiff here and they are finishing the night for those away fans at that end as well in fine fashion archers got two Saints have got five Saints are into the third round and uh the game is up for Cardiff the game is up for everyone and Saints kids have come good in the end and if players needed some confidence some of them might have got it particularly Cameron Archer and Matas Fernandez two goals for Archer a goal and an assist for Fernandez dibbling at the heart of lots of good things for Saints as well samam Ya's first goal for the club too and I reckon all in all there's more positives and negatives to take from this evening watching the kids out there
