The experience in front of goal was the difference between the two sides as the Welsh championship side opened their new stand at the Cardiff City Stadium.

Chasetown were the invited guests following their friendship since the FA Cup of 2008.

Cardiff took the lead inside ten minutes when Kadeem Harris seized on a defensive error and dinked the ball over the advancing John Bateman.

Tommy O'Sullivan had his effort saved before Bradley Williams drilled home the rebound.

Chasetown struck the crossbar midway through the second half via Nathan Waite but the Bluebirds extended their advantage with a sweet drive from Danny Johnson.

Chasetown: John Bateman (Curtis Pond, 55 mins)), Jermaine Johnson (Todd Evans, HT), Dexter Ravenhill (Grant Beckett, HT), Chris Slater, Tesfa Robinson (Carlo Franco, 79 mins), Lee Downes, Luke Bottomer (Ramone Stephens, HT), Lee Parsons (Lee Butler, HT), Nick Wellecomme (Nathan Waite, HT), Jordan Nadat, Richard Davies (Mitchell McDonald, HT)
