Wycombe Wanderers of England striker, Fred Onyedinma saw his side’s relegation woes compounded on an evening he had a goal and call for penalty denied, following which his side, who also featured Uche Ikpeazu failed to get a much-desired victory.
The day of gloom came against Cardiff City, who did not dress Sheyi Ojo for the crucial English Championship cliffhanger, in which all battling efforts from Onyedinma and Ikpeazu failed to save their side from falling against their hosts.
Ikpeazu and Onyedinma could only look on in agony, as now need a miracle to avoid relegation from the Sky Bet Championship after Kieffer Moore scored his 19th and 20th goals of the season to give Cardiff a 2-1 victory.
Megasportsarena.com reports further that Gareth Ainsworth’s Wanderers, who have struggled at the wrong end of the table all season, now have to win their last two remaining games, hope Derby lose theirs, and overturn a 13-goal deficit.
Wycombe were taught a lesson in clinical finishing by Cardiff’s Wales striker Moore, who netted in either half after Joe Jacobson had scored with a penalty. Cardiff finished the contest with 10 men after Will Vaulks saw red in added time.
Cardiff’s coach, Mick McCarthy left Liverpool loanees Harry Wilson and Ojo on the bench after admitting that he does not expect both players that are currently on loan to return to the Welsh capital next season.
Curtis Thompson headed well over for Wycombe in the game’s first chance, with Cardiff creating little until the 22nd minute when Moore gave them the lead, as the Wales striker did brilliantly to take the ball down on the right touchline before he cut inside and unleashed a powerful, low shot which found the bottom corner.
Curtis Nelson was booked for hacking at the legs of Thompson, while Onyedinma appealed for a penalty after going down under a Perry Ng challenge, while Colwill also shot into the side-netting but Wycombe equalised just before the break.
Ng lost possession and Onyedinma drove forwards before he was felled by Morrison in the box, but Wycombe captain Jacobson put his scuffed penalty effort straight down the middle, and Ng was replaced by Jordi Osei-Tutu for the start of the second half after his mistake led to the Wycombe goal.
Ikpeazu had a shot saved by Alex Smithies before the visitors had the ball in the net. Onyedinma finished calmly, but Admiral Muskwe was penalised for colliding with Smithies, which proved to be crucial, as Moore then made Wycombe pay for their missed chances.
The ball was headed down by Ciaron Brown and, given space, Moore smashed the ball home, after which Wycombe made a triple change to try and keep their hopes alive, but it was not to be despite their late pressure and Pack hitting the post.
