It's the English premier league matchday 26 where Southampton hosted Cardiff city at the St Mary's Stadium 16:00 GMT +1. The game kicked off just after a moment of silence for the departed in honour of our own Emiliano Sala.
The first half of the game wasn't that much of an interesting warfare. Both teams went goalless in the first half. Southamptons Hojbjerg's long range shot from outside of the box in the 39th minute and Redmond fantastic run and cuts into the box just before he unleased a tremendous shot that was superbly blocked by Cardiffs Bruno. This were notable highlights during the first half play.
The second half felt few actions and displays just before Neil Warnock's men struck the first blow in the 69th minute. S.Bamba was lucky with the tap in goal from C.Paterson's corner kick header. McCarthy had no chance to save the ball as he was left gasping for air.
An equaliser for The Saints came in the additional time 90+1 when J. Stephens tucks in the ball into the net after it escaped Austin's forehead. We all thought the game was over but it ain't really over until it's over. Camarasa was instrumental with providing a fine assist to unmarked Zohore who lashed the ball to the back of the net. It was an unbelievable moment for the visitors with one minute additional time left on the clock.
What a match that was. As crazy as it might be, the visitors grabbed a crucial three points from the home team. R.Hasenhüttl will surely feel like they've been gut-punched, though this is their first loss after five league games unbeaten run(2W,3D). They'll have to charge up and score more goals to claim more wins if they truly desire to play in the EPL next season. However, this was an important win for the Bluebirds as they escape the relegation zone.
