CARDIFF CITY held a 'closed doors' friendly against Exeter City at the new stadium today and emerged 2-0 winners.
It was essentially a run out for the sub's bench but key interest was in Ross McCormack who is certain to replace the suspended Michael Chopra at Swansea this weekend and he stood out scoring the opener with a stunner free-kick. Tony Capaldi doubled City's lead before the interval and a goalless second half saw McCormack withdrawn on the hour. The encounter also saw Kevin McNaughton get a more than useful run out as he bids to get into first team contention having missed the entire season to date.
Talking to CardiffCityFC.co.uk, McCormack said, "I was always going to play some part today, I would have been happy to go on for 90 minutes, but the decision was made to take me off, and I was happy to go along with it. I'll train Thursday and Friday to make sure I'm ready for Swansea".
City's side: Enckelman; Quinn-Morris-Gyepes-McNaughton, Comminges-Taiwo-Scimeca- Capaldi; McCormack-Feeney.
