Cardiff City, Rotherham United fail to score in entertaining game

Cardiff City fail to break down Rotherham United in a goalless draw in the Championship.

Cardiff City's run of five successive home wins has been ended by a 0-0 draw with Rotherham United in the Championship.

Cardiff went close twice in the first half through Sean Morrison, but on both occasions he headed Peter Whittingham free kicks high and wide.

Rotherham's Scott Wootton also went close when he burst through on goal and beat David Marshall, but a heavy touch allowed Cardiff's Ben Turner to scramble it clear.

Early in the second half, Emmanuel Ledesma went close to giving the visitors the lead with a free kick that rippled the side-netting.

Midfielder Craig Noone went close from distance for Cardiff but his long-range shot was saved, before Ledesma led a Rotherham charge up the other end of the pitch and his shot required a save from Marshall.

Cardiff upped the tempo late on and substitute Federico Macheda broke through the Rotherham defence before being denied by the keeper, just before Alex Revell hit the bar with a header for Rotherham.
