Swansea manager Luke Williams on Sky Sports:
"I think it was a very cagey game, probably the first half we were the better team and deserved our lead at half-time but the second half was a lot more even. I think if we'd have scored the second goal, we would have taken the game away from them, but at 1-0 there is always that jeopardy.
"We squandered the chance today. It is frustrating as it is a huge game and we know what it means. But we didn't get that second goal and then as a coach, you probably fear the worst and really, we got what we deserved.
"The mindset changes the longer it is 1-0. Today it felt like in the dying moments it could go either way and both coaches would have felt tense.
"On the whole we defended well, but we didn't for one action and the ball ended up in the back of the net. We switched off for one moment and got punished.
"We aren't looking like a bad side. We probably did enough to win today, even though a draw is a fair result. We need more consistency."
Cardiff assistant coach Omer Riza told Sky Sports:
"We knew it would be a passionate game. We've worked really hard today and have ended up with a draw and overall we are happy.
"There was a challenge that frustrated Erol, he was pulled onto the pitch by one of their players and the red card is a bit harsh.
"In the previous two games, we've felt we've had some good parts, we've been a little unlucky with the results but we all know that the score is the important thing.
"Going 1-0 down early meant today was always difficult, but we stuck to our guns.
"In the second half we had more intent, pressed better and we always felt our subs would be important today."
