Half-Time Report: Sean Morrison gives Cardiff City the lead

Cardiff City go into half time with a 1-0 lead against Fulham thanks to a strike from Sean Morrison.

Cardiff City have gone into the break of their match against Fulham with a 1-0 lead this afternoon thanks to Sean Morrison's header.

There were doubts that the game would go ahead prior to kickoff following damage to the stadium, but it did not distract the home side as they made a lively start to the match.

A neat nutmeg from Adam Le Fondre on the left wing gave him space to get a ball into the box, but he was unable to find Kenwyne Jones.

Their next chance came after a long throw from Aron Gunnarsson found Morrison, who headed just over the bar.

It was a warning for Fulham but they did not heed it and Cardiff opened the scoring minutes later through the exact same combination.

Gunnarsson's long throw again met the head of Morrison and this time he nodded in, although it was almost kept out by Marcus Bettinelli.

The Icelandic midfielder's throws were proving to be a dangerous tool for the hosts and they almost scored again from one as Le Fondre had an effort cleared off the line.

Ross McCormack spurned Fulham's best chance to get a goal in the half after turning and firing in a strike which had Simon Moore beaten but eventually dropped onto the roof of the net.
