Birmingham City's unbeaten run stalled in South Wales with two second half goals enough to condemn Blues to their first defeat in five.
A 50th minute strike from Eoin Doyle and Peter Whittingham’s penalty with a quarter of an hour to go were enough to give Cardiff the three points.
And few could have argued they weren’t deserved. Russell Slade’s men hardly put on a vintage display but it was considerably better than Birmingham’s.
The visitors managed just four shots all game - and only one on target, in a display that will once again give rise to suggestions they have clocked off for the season.
Thankfully they have built up enough of a cushion not to have to worry about the relegation shake-up but Gary Rowett - who was sent to the stands for protesting about a throw-in he felt had been wrongly awarded, will demand better from his players.
The Blues boss tried to inject some interest into the match by changing his system and starting with 4-1-4-1 for the first time in his tenure.
That meant an instant recall for Stephen Gleeson who had served out his three match ban following his sending off against Brentford.
