Charlton’s U21s fell to a 3-0 defeat at home to Cardiff City U21s on Tuesday afternoon in the Professional Development League South.
Cardiff City opened the scoring on 8 minutes through Luke Pearce.
Apart from the visitors’ goal, there wasn’t much action in the half for either side.
The young Addicks trailed 1-0 at half-time.
