The game looked in doubt, but the groundsman at Cardiff had covered the pitch so the the pitch was just about playable.
Swindon played well, and a lot of the play was attacking the Cardiff goal. Swindon had a free kick right on the edge of the box mid-way through the first half. Andy Gurney's shot looked to have scored by the ball just went wide beating the keeper but hitting the side netting.
Heywood had to clear the ball of the line in what was Cardiff's only real chance in the first half, but both sides when into the break with the scores still 0-0.
Into the second half Swindon carried on putting on the pressure with new signing Dean Marney having a good shot that tested the Cardiff keeper.
Swindon got their goal on 70 minutes with a close range header when Sam Parkin popped up in the crowed penalty box to give Swindon the lead.
Eric Sabin who came on to replace Danny Invincibile also had chances but couldn't score.
Cardiff then put the pressure on, and with only one minute to go, and for the third time in the last three away matches Swindon let a goal in the last minute when Robert Earnshaw found the ball at his feet from only a yard out and couldn't miss.
Overall Swindon really should have won, and played really well in what was a poor game in the rain on a muddy pitch, but most people would have been happy to settle for a point away to a team in 3rd in the table.
The draw means Swindon drop down a place to 16th in the table as they go into Saturday's game at home to Chesterfield who they beat 4-2 back in August.
