Competition: English League Championship Play-Offs Semi-Final 2nd Leg
The last time Cardiff were in the top division they were not the only ones who had never had it so good. Harold Macmillan was prime minister and life was one long boom. The Welsh team, like the country, are bust these days, facing an ongoing battle with the taxman, but the football club's financial problems will disappear overnight if they can build on this result and go on to gain a place in the land of milk and honey that is the Premier League. Exiled from the elite since 1962, they are knocking hard on the door for re-admittance, odds-on favourites to progress to the final of the Championship play-offs, with the home leg of this semi-final to come on Wednesday night. They were good value for their success here and are unlikely to be denied at their new stadium.
A riveting, edge-of-the-seat afternoon's drama was settled by Peter Whittingham's 24th goal of the midfielder's annus mirablis but only after Leicester had claims for a penalty that many referees would have given and had finished like trains, demanding two stunning saves from Scotland's David Marshall.These teams were nigh on inseparable in the Championship proper, both finishing on 76 points, with Cardiff fractionally ahead in fourth place by virtue of the superior goal difference garnered by their prolific strike force. Between them Whittingham, Michael Chopra, Jay Bothroyd and Chris Burke plundered 56 in the league. Leicester's top four marksmen managed 39.
Cardiff, who missed out on the play-offs by a single goal last season, booked their place this time with a 10-match unbeaten run. Leicester came charging into the semi-finals on the back of five successive wins. This was always likely to be nip and tuck. The team Jones has fashioned on the cheap were more assertive for an hour, Chopra going close twice in the first half when Leicester's only real threat came from Martyn Waghorn'sin-swinging corners. Like Chopra before him Bothroyd ought to have scored just after the interval, when he headed over from eight yards. The penalty incident came after 63 minutes, Alan Wiley waving away the concerted appeals after a right-wing cross from Richie Wellens had reached the far post, where it struck Kevin McNaughton on the hand. The contact appeared to be involuntary but, as Andy Gray and company would prattle, "I've seen them given." With an ironic smile Nigel Pearson said: "The ball hit him on the arm, didn't it? Ask our friends at the Premier League about that Wiley is from the Premier League list."

The home crowd were still voicing their displeasure over that decision when, with 77 minutes gone, Cardiff scored. Awarded a free-kick wide on the right, Whittingham attempted to steal a few yards but was sent back to where the offence had been committed. "I tried it on but the linesman caught me and I'm grateful for that," he said. "It gave me a better position. The lads were saying, 'Put it in the box', but I fancied it." Whittingham's delicious strike with that productive left foot curled the ball in via the near post. The former Aston Villa midfielder has had a season to remember and, if Cardiff do not make it into the Premier League, he surely will, with Birmingham City keen to take him back to the second city.
The goal prompted a tigerish fightback by Leicester. Matty Fryatt, through one-on-one against Marshall, was denied when the goalkeeper improvised a save with his legs, Paul Gallagher saw a shot hit Mark Hudson at whites-of-the-eyes range and in added time Marshall further distinguished himself with a reflex save to repel Andy King's goalbound header. Pearson put a politician's perspective on a disappointing result. "It's not over yet," he said. "It is still going to be a tight affair." Jones, naturally, was much happier. Of the prospect of attaining football's nirvana, he said: "We've got a foot in the door."
