Cardiff saw their United Rugby Championship play-off hopes suffer a setback as Glasgow Warriors eased to a comfortable 40-17 victory at Scotstoun.
Tries from Jack Dempsey and Kyle Steyn set Glasgow on their way, before Josh Adams pulled a try back for the visitors.
However, Johnny Matthews then restored the 14-point lead for the hosts.
Adams was then forced off with a knock at half-time in what was shaping to be a difficult evening for Cardiff.
Matthews completed his brace by going over early in the second half, before Danny Southworth responded with a second try of the the night for the visitors.
However, Glasgow restored their dominance with a fifth score from Patrick Schickerling and another converted score from Kyle Rowe.
Cardiff threatened to snatch the consolation of a bonus point after running over a third try through Jacob Beetham, but ultimately left it too late to earn another score.
The Blue and Blacks now face a crucial clash with the Stormers at the Arms Park next Friday night.
