Millwall seemed to have the game in hand after first-half goals from Calum Scanlon and Casper De Norre. Cardiff managed to get one back just before halftime with a fantastic shot from Chris Willock.
It looked like Cardiff would leave empty-handed, but Salech had other plans. He made his mark deep into stoppage time, sending the away fans into a frenzy.
The match extended Cardiff’s unbeaten streak to six games. Omer Riza, the Cardiff manager, was present despite a tough week, having lost his father.
After a big derby match, teams often feel drained, and it showed. Riza made five changes to the lineup, hoping to freshen things up.
Millwall struck first, catching Cardiff off guard. They tried to respond, but the hosts kept them at bay for most of the first half.
Just when it seemed like Cardiff was out of luck, Willock’s goal gave them a lifeline. They came back stronger in the second half, but Millwall’s defense held firm.
As the game wore on, Cardiff pushed hard for an equalizer. Salech and others came on to shake things up, and they kept the pressure on.
In the dying moments, Salech finally found the net, securing a point for Cardiff and sending the away fans into celebration mode. What a finish!
