Kim Bo-kyung scored the only goal of the game as Cardiff continued their preparations ahead of their first Premier League season with a win at home to Chievo.
Malky Mackay named a strong side for the visit of the Serie A outfit to the Cardiff City Stadium, with new club-record signing Steven Caulker making his first appearance for the club as a second-half substitute.
Kim's effort, which came just before the hour-mark, was the South Korea international's third goal of pre-season and proved to be enough to seal the win for the hosts.
