If both owners have their way, this would have been Hull Tigers against Cardiff Dragons, which sounds more like a game between two rugby league sides or unlicensed team names in Pro Evolution Soccer. Nevertheless, it’s still Hull City against Cardiff City, for now, who battled each other as two of the recently promoted sides.

Prior to the match, Hull manager Steve Bruce said that both managers in this game saw it as a must win. Not surprisingly then, the final score ended in a draw in a closely fought match where both teams will regret missing their chances to get all three points.
