Wednesday were the dominant side throughout a match that saw Cardiff camped in their own half for the most part. Defensive lapses and an inability to double a lead given to them by Anthony Musaba cost them dearly.
There were bright performances from the likes of Marvin Johnson, Will Vaulks, Callum Paterson and Barry Bannan but their dominance didn't turn into vast glut of clear-cut chances with the Bluebirds able to stay in the game.
Karlan Grant and Kion Etete both bundled the ball past Cameron Dawson late in the game via deflections to send the away end into pandemonium and the home side scratching their heads.
9. Callum Paterson - 7
Seemed on a mission. Not every moment went his way, but he linked nicely on the right and put in a couple of nice crosses. Won more aerials than anyone else on the pitch - important on an afternoon such as that. | UGC / Steve Ellis
10. Bailey Cadamarteri - 6
Showed hunger from the very first kick in trying to disrupt Cardiff's build-up and provided a target throughout. Would have blown the roof off his second half run-and-shot on 82 minutes. Tireless. | Steve Ellis / UGC
11. Anthony Musaba - 7
Offered energy throughout and produced a finish of huge quality on 28 minutes, sending Dimitrios Goutas for a Bovril with one touch and smashing it past Jak Alnick with the next. Not everything he does comes off, but he's an exciting ball of exuberance and fun to watch. | UGC / Steve Ellis
12. Djeidi Gassama - N/A
On for Musaba with 17 minutes left. Showed a bit of threat but got his feet in a muddle once or twice. | UGC / Steve Ellis
