Cardiff City fans, brace yourselves; it was heartbreak at the Toughsheet Community Stadium where the Bluebirds lost 1-0 to Bolton Wanderers. The match was anything but a thriller, with its only standout moment coming when Amario Cozier-Duberry delivered a stunning 94th-minute strike, leaving Cardiff empty-handed. After dominating possession but lacking a real cutting edge, Cardiff seemed destined for a hard-earned point. However, one slip-up from Tanatswa Nyakuhwa gifted Bolton the chance to counter, and Cozier-Duberry unleashed a 25-yard rocket into the top corner.
Cardiff controlled the ball early, with Rubin Colwill and Yousef Salech having their efforts blocked, while Joel Bagan’s cross saw David Turnbull head wide, missing a great opportunity. Bolton, largely quiet, snuck this one out with only one shot on target – enough for the win. In search of some magic, Brian Barry-Murphy shuffled his deck, introducing fresh legs like Nyakuhwa and Callum Robinson, but the spark was missing, leaving the visitors unable to find a breakthrough.
The Bluebirds’ defence held firm until the last, but Cozier-Duberry’s effort was a dagger to the heart, ensuring Bolton grabbed all three points. Cardiff will rue their missed chances and ponder over what might have been as they look to bounce back in their next fixture. Keep your chin up, Bluebirds; the season is far from over! #CardiffCity #Bluebirds #FootballHeartbreak
