BOTH sides claimed this was NOT a must win game so early in the season – so neither did.
A drab affair at the John Smith’s stadium had a major talking point with Huddersfield captain Jonathan Hogg’s sending off.
There was little else to talk about however with few chances at either end.
To say the first half was appalling was being generous. There was one shot on target courtesy of Cardiff.
Even that resulted in a collision which took both Huddersfield goalkeeper Ben Hamer and Cardiff wideman Nathaniel Mendez-Laing out.
Mendez-Laing had chased a ball down and as he reached it so did Hammer the pair of them sliding into each others knees.
Both looked badly hurt. There was a delay of five minutes as both were treated.
Mendez-Laing ended up going off on a stretcher while Hamer tried to play on. He too would end up hobbling down the tunnel minutes later.
Many Huddersfield fans would have though Hamer was lucky to have started the game in the first place.
Jonas Lossl had strangely been demoted from the first two games which saw The Terries concede three to Chelsea and six against Manchester City.
Hamer was particularly poor against City dropping two clangers in the first half of that game which resulted in the club’s heaviest defeat in nearly 20 years.
So it was two games no points and Cardiff arrived with just the one after surving a late penalty from Newcastle in their last game which goalkeeper Neil Etheridge saved.
He had little to do in the first half yesterday even if Huddersfield had the better of the game.
They thought they had scored too when Zanka powered forward in the 12th minute and reduced a thunderous shout which almost broke the side netting.
That was about as exciting as it got in the first-half.
Even chief irritant for all fourth officials Neil Warnock in the Cardiff Ciy technical area couldn’t find anything to moan about.
It had to get better in the second-half and briefly did when Huddersfield centre-back Terence Kongold got forward down the right flank and floated over an inviting cross.
Steve Mounie, all six foot three inches of him, made himself another three foot tall by leaping to meet the ball but his far post header was well saved.
The most controversial incident came on 61 minutes when one of those usual hugging and pushing matches at a corner spilled over.
Harry Arter shoved Hogg a bit too hard and as the ball went out to halfway Hogg responded with what appeared to be a headbutt.
Arter was booked, Hogg was given a straight red and the ref gave a free kick to Huddersfield.
This seemed to give Cardiff a bit of impetus to have ago and when Victor Camarasa laid the ball off to Danny Ward his shot was well saved by Lossl.
Then when Joe Ralls swung over a corner captain Sean Morrison had a great chance with a header but planted it the wrogn side of the left-hand upright.
The man advantage would not count in the end, game over. One to forget.

WASHINGTON - The Obama administration told a U.S. magistrate judge on Friday it would be willing to allow Apple Inc. to retain possession of and later destroy specialized software it has been ordered to design to help the FBI hack into an encrypted iPhone used by the gunman in December's mass shootings in California.
The government made clear that it was open to less intrusive options in a new legal filing intended to blunt public criticism by Apple's chief executive, Tim Cook, who said the software would be "too dangerous to create" because it would threaten the digital privacy of millions of iPhone customers worldwide.
"Apple may maintain custody of the software, destroy it after its purpose under the order has been served, refuse to disseminate it outside of Apple and make clear to the world that it does not apply to other devices or users without lawful court orders," the Justice Department told Judge Sheri Pym. "No one outside App...
Meanwhile, the legal fight continued to reverberate on the presidential campaign trail as Republican candidate Donald Trump called on Americans to boycott Apple until it complies with the court order.
Trump made the comment during a question-and-answer session in Pawleys Island, South Carolina, where he's campaigning ahead of Saturday's presidential primary. Trump says Cook wants to prove "how liberal he is" and told the crowd to "boycott Apple until such time as they give up that security."
In the latest verbal volley between the federal government and one of the world's most respected companies, the Justice Department argued that Apple has the technical ability to comply with a court order issued this week — but won't do so because of its marketing strategy.
"Apple has attempted to design and market its products to allow technology, rather than the law, to control access to data which has been found by this court to be warranted for an important investigation," the filing states.
The Justice Department's motion, which seeks to force Apple to comply with Pym's order, appears aimed at rebutting some of the key objections of Apple and its supporters. It says that the software the government seeks, contrary to Apple's assertions, is not akin to a "master key, capable of opening hundreds of millions...
"To the extent that Apple claims that the order is unreasonably burdensome because it undermines Apple's marketing strategies or because it fears criticism for providing lawful access to the government, these concerns do not establish an undue burden," the government wrote.
Apple's written objection, already signaled by Cook in a message to Apple customers, is due next Friday.
The magistrate on Tuesday ordered Apple to provide the FBI with highly specialized software that could be loaded onto the work-issued iPhone 5C used by Syed Farook, who died with his wife in a gun battle with police after killing 14 people in December in San Bernardino, California. The U.S. has said the attacks were pa...
Although the judge instructed Apple to create the software for the FBI, she said it could be loaded onto the phone at an Apple facility.
But the Justice Department made explicit Friday that Apple could retain custody of the software at all times.
The specialized software would bypass a security self-destruct feature that erases all data after 10 consecutive, unsuccessful attempts to guess the unlocking passcode. In their filing Friday, prosecutors explained that investigators would be willing to work remotely to test passcodes, while Apple retained both possess...
That's a good "compromise position" because "they're giving all the power to Apple," said Jason Healey, a former director on cyber policy at the White House.
"They're telling Apple, 'You hold the software, we're not asking you to put a backdoor in the encryption, we just want to be able to brute force this thing,'" Healey said. "If the precedent is this, that they deliver the phone to Apple and Apple does it, I think that's a pretty good precedent that can't be done en mass...
The government also provided further explanation for why it believes the county-owned phone could be valuable as evidence, with prosecutors saying Farook appeared to use the device to communicate with his wife in the months before the shootings as well as with some of his co-workers who were killed in the attacks.
Two other personal phones were found crushed beyond investigative value in the trash behind the couple's home.

A man and woman were both injured after a collision on the M40 near Warwick.
Warwickshire Police is appealing for information following the collision which happened in the early hours of yesterday morning (Sunday March 31).
The man and woman were injured in the incident which occurred after their car broke down at around 2.50am between Warwick Services and junction 12. They pulled over onto the hard shoulder and exited their car.
A short time later they both suffered injuries in the incident.
A 25-year-old man suffered serious life-threatening injuries when a car collided with him. He is currently in a serious but stable condition in hospital.
The 26-year-old woman suffered minor leg injuries. She was treated in hospital and has since been discharged.
PC Matt Morrall from the Warwickshire Police Serious Collision Investigation Team said: "Our thoughts at this time are with the two people involved and their families. An investigation into the collision is underway and we have spoken to a number of people who were in the area at the time.
"In order to help establish how the collision occurred, we'd like to speak to anyone who witnessed the collision or saw the vehicle pull over onto the hard shoulder.
"Also, if any motorists have dash cam footage that could assist with our enquiries, I would appeal for them to come forward."
Anyone with information can contact police on 101 quoting incident number 39 of March 31.
The debate is done. America made it out alive. For now, that is.
But before Donald Trump forced the nation to hold its breath in preparation for the morning of Nov. 9, Twitter was scratching its head over what didn't turn out to be a total failure of our political system — though it came pretty darn close.
Donald Trump stumbled out of the gate, having a hard time grasping how the female body worked, and what exactly happens in the end of pregnancy.
For the most part, the first 30 minutes of the debate were civil, a bright spot in an otherwise dark debate slate. But then, right about the time Donald Trump started losing it in previous debates, everything went off the rails.
Hillary Clinton was asked about some of the emails exposed by WikiLeaks, and somehow Trump spent most of the time talking about his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Clinton referred to Trump as a puppet of Putin's, which reduced the Republican presidential nominee to a kid playing a game of "I know you are but what am I."
Trump had an opportunity to denounce foreign countries who attempted to manipulate the election. Instead, the GOP nominee expressed doubt, one more time, that Russia was involved with the email hacks.
Trump then conflated America's trade imbalance with the United States' policy of not collecting money from military allies. Which are two different things!
Trump interrupted Clinton throughout the debate, saying she was "wrong" on multiple occasions, and generally talking over his opponent.
When asked about the recent wave of sexual assault allegations that have rocked the Trump campaign, the former reality TV star said that the accusations were so patently false that he hadn't even apologized to his wife, Melania, for his purported transgressions.
A recent video that supposedly showed a Clinton supporter inciting violence at a Trump rally appeared online a few days ago. Trump referenced the video a couple of times during the debate, blaming the Clinton campaign for the ruckus atmosphere that has become a trademark of his campaign events.
At one point, Trump claimed that there was no one in the world who respects women more than he does -- an unverifiable claim, at best.
Trump invited Clinton to return money and gifts given to the Clinton Foundation by Middle Eastern nations that don't value gender equality.
The quote that will dominate Thursday's headlines came when Trump would not promise to honor the results of the election.
Clinton countered this gaffe by reminding everyone that Trump says the system is rigged whenever he loses.
Even athletes found Trump alarming.
Ted Cruz's former campaign manager wasn't pleased with Trump's performance.
Chris Wallace earned positive reviews.
Clinton didn't exactly ace the debate.
But the overall takeaway for a lot of people was Trump's fleeting attention span.
A lot of people on Twitter were disappointed that climate change was not discussed.
To keep the debate about the issues, Trump quipped, "Such a nasty woman."
The debate ended when Wallace asked the candidates to summarize why they should be elected president.
After it was all over, Clinton and Trump declined to shake hands, another of the numerous ways this election campaign has left precedent and tradition behind.
Carter Page seemed determined last week to get himself — and President Donald Trump's inner circle — into legal jeopardy. The former Trump campaign adviser went on live TV to talk about the 2016 election and testified before Congress about his ties to Russia, all without an appointed attorney.
Appearing before the House Intelligence Committee in a closed-door session, Page revealed what he knew relating to the Trump campaign — to the astonishment of just about everybody.
The marathon testimony featured amazing exchanges between Page and Reps. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., as the foreign policy adviser explained his many contacts in Russia.
Perhaps the biggest disclosure from the seven-hour testimony was the fact that Page went to Moscow and met with Kremlin officials after he had been hired by the Trump campaign.
In the hearing last week, the congressmen were especially curious about Page's ties to Russia. Schiff began the line of questioning with a doozy.
Page called the encounters he referred to in the email as “just having a warm conversation with individuals” and information he learned from listening to public speeches.
Legal experts were astounded last week that Page volunteered to do an interview with MSNBC's Chris Hayes, considering special counsel Robert Mueller had just handed out indictments in the Russia investigation. Page exuded confidence in the interview, as if he had nothing to hide. But in his closed-door session before C...
Even Gowdy, the Republican representative who masterminded the Benghazi hearings, was dumbfounded by Page's testimony.
