Hull and Millwall draw tense first leg to leave playoff semi-final in the balance
The 40th edition of the EFL playoffs started not so much with a bang, but with the kind of tension-filled evenings we have come to expect from the business end of the season. And at the end of a gripping evening in East Yorkshire, the Premier League dreams of Hull and Millwall remain alive before rivalries are renewed in south London on Monday night.
TL;DR
- The first leg of the 40th EFL playoffs between Hull and Millwall finished 0-0.
- The match was tense and nervy, with neither side wanting to make a decisive mistake.
- Hull had a couple of early chances, including a run by Mohamed Belloumi that hit the post.
- Millwall appeared more composed in possession, but clear goal-scoring opportunities were scarce for both teams.
- Late in the game, there was a penalty appeal for Millwall after a foul on Charlie Hughes, which was waved away.
- The tie is now set to be decided at Millwall's home ground, The Den, in the second leg.
