The Grecians fell agonisingly short in South Wales, a second-half strike from Alex Robertson all that separated the two teams in this festive tie.
"It's another fine margin loss against the number one team in the league." Gary Caldwell and his team knew that this would be a difficult game coming into it, with the Bluebirds sat pretty at the top of the table before a ball been kicked at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Roughly 1,500 travelling Grecians met the team in Cardiff, the support once again greatly appreciated by Caldwell and his team; "Incredible. Incredible as well at the end, I think they appreciate the team's effort. They appreciate how we go about trying to win the game."
