Charlton Athletic 1-1 Millwall: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Coral’s post-match review of Charlton Athletic 1-1 Millwall in the Championship on Saturday, 13 September 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Charlton Athletic and Millwall played out a hard-fought 1-1 draw at The Valley, a result that reflects the competitive nature of both sides. The Addicks, coming off a run of three games without a win, managed to halt their losing streak thanks to Sonny Carey's well-taken goal in the 40th minute. However, Millwall, who had been inconsistent with a win and two losses in their last three outings, showed resilience by equalising late through substitute Raees Bangura-Williams in the 88th minute. The draw was perhaps not surprising given the recent form of both teams, but it was a crucial point for Charlton to stop the rot.

The game was marked by a high level of discipline issues, particularly for Charlton, who ended the match with ten men after Kayne Ramsay received a second yellow card. Despite this, the Addicks showed commendable spirit to hold on for a point against a Millwall side that had more of the ball throughout the match. For Millwall, the late equaliser will feel like a point gained, especially after their recent loss at home to Wrexham. Both teams will take positives from this encounter as they look to build on their performances in upcoming fixtures.

The statistics from the match highlight Millwall's dominance in possession, holding 64% of the ball compared to Charlton's 36%. Despite this, Charlton managed to create enough to score and secure a draw, which suggests they were efficient with their limited possession. The corner count was close, with Millwall edging it 4-3, indicating both teams had opportunities to threaten from set pieces. However, the most striking figures were the disciplinary stats, with Charlton receiving three yellow cards and a red card, while Millwall only picked up one yellow, which could have influenced the game's flow and outcome.

The key moment that set the tone for the match was Sonny Carey's goal for Charlton in the 40th minute, a strike that gave the home side the lead going into halftime. This goal was crucial as it provided Charlton with something to defend, especially after they were reduced to ten men following Kayne Ramsay's sending off in the 74th minute. The red card shifted the momentum, putting pressure on Charlton to hold on for the win.

Millwall's response came late in the game when substitute Raees Bangura-Williams scored in the 88th minute to level the score. This goal was a testament to Millwall's persistence and their ability to make impactful substitutions, as Bangura-Williams had only been on the pitch for 22 minutes. The late equaliser ensured Millwall left The Valley with a point, a result that could prove vital in the context of their season.

Charlton Athletic lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Thomas Kaminski in goal and a back four of Kayne Ramsay, Lloyd Jones, Amari'i Bell, and Josh Edwards. The midfield was anchored by Conor Coventry and Greg Docherty, with Rob Apter, Sonny Carey, and Tyreece Campbell supporting striker Charlie Kelman.

The lineup was fairly standard, but the impact of Sonny Carey's goal was significant, showcasing his importance to the team. The substitutions of James Bree and Miles Leaburn in the 61st minute and Reece Burke in the 83rd minute were aimed at maintaining the lead, but the red card to Ramsay disrupted their plans.

Millwall opted for a 4-4-2 formation, with Steven Benda between the posts and a defense consisting of Ryan Leonard, Tristan Crama, Jake Cooper, and Joe Bryan. The midfield was made up of Camiel Neghli, M. Luongo, Luke Cundle, and Aidomo Emakhu, with Mihailo Ivanovic and Josh Coburn up front.

The lineup was typical for Millwall, but the game-changing moment came from the bench when Raees Bangura-Williams scored the equaliser. The five substitutions made by Millwall, including Bangura-Williams, Daniel Kelly, Thierno Mamadou Lamarana Ballo, and Wes Harding, showed their depth and tactical flexibility.

Sonny Carey is Coral’s Man of the Match, and his performance justified this accolade. Scoring the opening goal in the 40th minute, Carey demonstrated his ability to influence the game with a crucial strike. Although he didn't register any assists or create big chances, his key pass and goal were pivotal in securing a point for Charlton, highlighting his importance to the team's attacking efforts.
