Queens Park Rangers eased their relegation worries with an attritional win at Cardiff City to intensify the pressure on Bluebirds manager Neil Harris.
Torrential rain and a paucity of scoring opportunities made for a goalless first half to forget.
After the interval, QPR's Charlie Austin had a goal disallowed before Chris Willock made the breakthrough in the 70th minute as he fired into the bottom corner.
A fine save by Alex Smithies denied Macauley Bonne a second for the visitors, who were indebted to goalkeeper Seny Dieng for preserving their lead with superb stops from Leandro Bacuna and Kieffer Moore.
Victory moves QPR seven points clear of the relegation zone but, for Cardiff, a sixth consecutive defeat in all competitions leaves last season's play-off semi-finalists 13 points adrift of the top six.
