"Will Fish's thumping volley secured League One side Cardiff a spot in the Carabao Cup quarterfinals as Wrexham were punished for their poor performance in Tuesday's all-Wales encounter. The Red Dragons' dreams of reaching the last eight of the competition for the first time since 1978 went up in smoke as the ambitious Championship outfit fell to a disheartening defeat at a subdued SToK Cae Ras."
"Wrexham substitute Kieffer Moore equalised against his former club, who had deservedly led through Yousef Salech, but Cardiff were not to be denied as Fish's fizzing finish earned a 2-1 victory in the sides' first meeting in 21 years. The Bluebirds are in the quarterfinal draw for the first time since they reached the 2011-12 final following a triumph to cherish in north Wales."
Cardiff beat Wrexham 2-1 in an all-Wales Carabao Cup tie as Will Fish's thumping volley secured a quarterfinal place. Yousef Salech opened the scoring after Omari Kellyman’s assist and Rubin Colwill rattled a 25-yard free-kick off the crossbar. Substitute Kieffer Moore equalised with a towering header against his former club, but Fish's fizzing finish restored Cardiff's lead. Wrexham produced a ponderous first-half display and were booed at half-time. Cardiff made fewer changes and showed greater intent from the outset, maintaining pressure and securing their first quarterfinal appearance since 2011-12. Fans reacted loudly at key moments.
