A last-minute free-kick from Rubin Colwill saw Cardiff City claim a dramatic point against Wrexham in their Championship opener on Monday night.
The visitors got off to a dream start just minutes after kick off when Kieffer Moore got on the end of a looping through ball from Daniel Imray.
The veteran striker has an impressive career record against the Bluebirds and added another goal to his tally when he blasted the ensuing strike beyond Cardiff goalkeeper Nathan Trott at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Cardiff pressed hard for an equaliser during the closing stages but it appeared Phil Parkinson's side would hold firm before the Bluebirds were awarded a free-kick on the edge of the area.
Substitute Colwill stepped up to take on the edge of the box and produced a phenomenal strike to equalise with the final kick of the game.
