Cardiff City and Blackburn Rovers have both been unable to break the deadlock following a goalless first half in their Championship match this evening.

Craig Conway had the first effort on goal of the match, but his strike from range flew wide of the post.

Conway was involved again moments later, as his corner was headed over by Rudy Gestede.

The hosts almost took the lead soon after with their first real opening, as Eoin Doyle clipped a shot past the keeper, but Matthew Kilgallon got back to clear the ball off the line.

Blackburn then had a shot of their own cleared from the goal line, as Aron Gunnarsson was alert to block a strike from Joshua King.

At the end of the half a poor clearance from David Marshall almost led to a goal for Gestede, but the keeper got back in time to prevent a goal and ensure that the scores stayed level heading into the break.
