Cardiff and Charlton saw their 100 per cent records since football returned come to an end as the two Sky Bet Championship sides shared a goalless draw in the Welsh capital.
Both teams had won their first two games since the league resumed, but a point suited relegation-threatened Charlton more than it did Cardiff, who have an eye on the play-offs.
Neil Harris’ Bluebirds stayed in sixth position with a draw and although the two teams went into the game at opposite ends of the table, Charlton deserved a share of the spoils.
Cardiff full-back Dion Sanderson fired wide with the game’s first chance while Charlton’s Andre Green headed over at the other end. Josh Cullen also tried his luck for the visitors.
Cardiff responded by introducing forward pair Lee Tomlin and Junior Hoilett, and Albert Adomah – who is set for a controversial return to parent club Nottingham Forest – went close.
Hoilett had a fine chance at the back post from an Adomah cross but could not hit the target. It summed up Cardiff’s inability to make the final ball or shot count.
Charlton’s Aneke felt hard done by the physical defending of Nelson and Cardiff captain Sean Morrison, but in the end neither side could break the deadlock as the ball burst in the final minute.
