Bruce and Leicester Lose - Ipswich Town News

On-loan defender Alex Bruce played the full 120 minutes last night as his Leicester side lost their play-off semi-final against Cardiff City on penalties after extra-time.

Bruce tripped Michael Chopra to give away the 69th minute penalty which led to the Bluebirds making the scoreline 3-3 on aggregate with no further goals in normal or extra-time. The Welshmen won the shoot-out 4-3.

The 25-year-old, who is contracted to the Blues until 2011, says he is unsure what his future holds having spent the second half of the season on loan at the Walkers Stadium.

Liam Trotter is the only other Town loanee in play-off action with Millwall facing Huddersfield — including Jordan Rhodes and Gary Roberts — in the first leg in West Yorkshire on Saturday.
