00:00Yusuf Salek's stoppage time equaliser preserves Kana City's unbeaten start to Ligue 1 as they drew 1-1 with Stockport.
00:10For long spells they looked, although Oliver Norwood's first-half penalty would hand the Hatters victory.
00:15But the Bluebirds found a way deep into added time, Salek glancing home Chris Willock's cross to snatch a point.
00:24The contest began in subdued fashion, with neither side finding rhythm in the early exchanges.
00:30That changed midway through the first half when Bernoni Addressen almost opened the scoring.
00:36Matching on to Carl Wutton's flick, the Icelanders struck the post before forcing Nathan Trott into a sharp save with a powerful header moments later.
00:46Stockport's pressure told just after the half-hour mark when Andresen was brought down in the area.
00:52Norwood stepped up and coolly converted from 12 yards, giving the home side a deserved lead
00:57and a platform to build on before the interval.
01:02Cardiff, who had struggled to impose themselves, showed greater intent after the break.
01:07Salek thought he had levelled early in the second half when he tapped in a low cross from Willock,
01:14only to be denied by the assistance flag.
01:17Perrinji then tested Coria Dye from distance as the visitors had pushed forward,
01:22but clear chances remained scarce against a Stockport defence that largely held firm.
01:28As the game drifted into its closing stages, the host looked comfortable and appeared on course for all three points.
01:36Yet Cardiff's persistence was awarded in the seventh minute of stoppage time.
01:41Willock afforded space out wide, delivered a pinpoint ball into the box,
01:45and Salek timed his run perfectly to glance it beyond a die.
01:50The late drama ensured the Bluebirds remain unbeaten,
01:53a record that reflects both their resilience and their ability to conjure something when it matters most.
01:59So then, an unbeaten start and sat at the very summit of League One.
02:04Brian Barry Murphy's side are feeling like it's proof-growing of resolve for their campaign
02:10as they look to return to the Championship.
