Fantastic Cardiff City player ratings as special talent shines again and defender really impresses

Cardiff: The match was quite the spectacle! Cian Ashford was the star of the show, showcasing his skills with a stunning goal and a brilliant assist. He really knows how to light up the pitch.

Ethan Horvath had a decent game, but his distribution could use some work. He made some solid saves, especially one from Rhian Brewster that was top-notch.

Ronan Kpakio, the young lad, had a good start but had to leave early due to injury. It was a shame because he was really holding his own against Sam McCallum.

Will Fish returned to the team without any fuss, while Jesper Daland was a rock in defense, providing the physicality Cardiff needed. Joel Bagan also stood out, making crucial interceptions and even pushing into midfield effectively.

Perry Ng had a mixed performance, but he improved after switching back to right-back. Joe Ralls, on his 400th appearance, kept things ticking nicely in the midfield.

Ollie Tanner was a constant threat, running tirelessly and defending well. Rubin Colwill had some exciting moments, even if he made a few wrong decisions.

Kion Etete struggled a bit, missing some chances, but it was his first game back. The substitutes also made their mark, with Luke Pearce showing promise on his debut.

Overall, it was a great team effort, and fans have plenty to be excited about moving forward!
