It was a game which failed to catch light until the closing stages when both sides had a couple of good chances each.
For PNE, centre-half Bambo Diaby stood out. It was only his second start for the club but he was powerful at the back and played a big part in the clean sheet.
Here are the North End player ratings from the Cardiff City Stadium clash.

The midfielder got on the ball well and was at the start of most of PNE's attacks. He got forward well to support the front players too. Photo: CameraSport - Ian Cook
A willing runner, Potts got through plenty of work on the right hand side of the pitch but his crossing accuracy and decision-making near the box was slightly lacking. Photo: CameraSport - Ian Cook
Plenty of creativity from DJ in an attacking midfield role and he came closest to scoring after a run into the box which ended with the keeper saving at his feet. Photo: CameraSport - Ian Cook
Would have been PNE's match winner but lost his footing just before reaching a rebound by the far post. Struggled to get a grip on the midfield in the first half but was better in the second half when he saw more of the ball. Subbed late on. Photo: CameraSport - Ian Cook
