Cardiff beat Peterborough 2-1 on the opening day of the season
Cardiff City's faltering bid for promotion in League One lost further momentum as they could only draw at Peterborough United.
In a frustratingly familiar first half, the dominant Bluebirds had 15 shots but only three on target as their wait for a goal stretched beyond two and a half games.
Half-time substitute Alex Robertson took less than three minutes to break the drought, half-volleying the visitors in front.
But Peterborough were level just 17 seconds later as Harry Leonard raced on to Kyrell Lisbie's lofted pass and finished neatly.
Cardiff had chances to restore their lead, but their wastefulness means they have only two wins from eight games.
Leaders Lincoln City confirmed their promotion with victory at Reading and are all but guaranteed to be crowned champions now they are 12 points clear of Cardiff in second place, albeit having played one match more.
Most significantly, however, the Bluebirds had their advantage over the teams outside the automatic promotion places cut to seven points as Bradford City won at Wycombe Wanderers to move up to third.
Bolton Wanderers, who visit Cardiff next Saturday, are one point further back in fourth following their 2-2 draw with Stockport County, who are fifth.
Peterborough, who have only one win in nine matches, move up one position to 13th, five points clear of the relegation zone.
More to follow.
