Stockport County's League One match against Cardiff ended in a 1-1 draw, but the real concern was Yousef Salech's injury. The Cardiff striker, who has scored 12 league goals this season, was forced off on a stretcher with a neck brace following an aerial collision with County centre-back Brad Hills midway through the first half. Stockport County had taken the lead in the 10th minute after Kyle Wootton pounced on a shot from Josh Dacres-Cogley which was saved by City goalkeeper Nathan Trott. The game restarted after Salech's injury and the Bluebirds found an equaliser in the lengthy period of first-half added time through Joel Colwill, who fired home from inside the penalty area. And in the second period, a late Calum Robinson chance was saved by County goalkeeper Ben Hinchliffe in the 88th minute. So the points were shared at the Cardiff City Stadium. The injury to Salech occurred in the 27th minute, and play was stopped for over 10 minutes as multiple medics provided treatment. Yousef Salech's condition will be a major concern for Cardiff, given his importance to the team. But for Stockport County, the draw will be seen as a positive result, especially considering they were playing away from home. The club will now look to build on this performance in their next match.
