Malky Mackay (right, yelling out instructions) played a different side in each half with the goal coming in the first half.
The culmination of a week in the heat of Southern Spain was victory for City in front of a band of travelling fans who witnessed the first game of Mackay's reign.
Cardiff started with:
T Heaton, K McNaughton, L Naylor, S Taiwo, M Hudson, A Evans, A Wildig, P Whittingham, R Gestade, R Earnshaw, C Conway.
Gestede is a tall young French striker and it was his low shot on 25 mins that won the match.
There was all change for the second half with City lining up:
J Santiago (gk), D Blake, A Taylor, D Keinan, N Jarvis, A Gunnarsson, I Farah, G Gyepes, D Cowie, J Mason, J Parkin
