The first half chance of the game fell the home side’s way, with Ollie Tanner firing over the bar with a half volley from close-range.
Similar efforts followed for the Bluebirds, while Blackpool also found their own foothold in the game, but neither team were able to produce anything clear cut in the opening exchanges.
The most important defensive contribution in the first half came from James Husband, with the left back intercepting the ball with an outstretched leg to avert a close-ranged tap in.
Brian Barry-Murphy’s side had a couple of late chances to break through ahead of the break, seeing a Tanner shot take a touch just wide of the target, before Omari Kellyman saw a headed attempt saved by Bailey Peacock-Farrell.
Following the restart, a golden chance came Tom Bloxham’s way. A well-weighted pass through from Ashley Fletcher gave his strike partner a sight of goal, but the 22-year-old couldn’t find the target with a lightly hit attempt.
After denying Kellyman in the first half, Peacock-Farrell left the Cardiff midfielder frustrated again in the 54th minute, with another impressive stop.
Nathan Trott was also on hand with his own heroics to keep Blackpool out - denying a thunderous Josh Bowler striker with a fingertip save to stop the ball from finding the top corner.
Here’s how the Seasiders performed:
