Millwall 1-3 Hull City: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Hull struck early and decisively, with Kyle Joseph’s quick double in the 6th and 13th minutes setting the tone and putting Millwall on the back foot right away. The game shifted further when Millwall’s Femi Azeez saw red in the 76th, leaving them a man down and vulnerable, though Aidomo Emakhu’s 80th-minute goal offered brief hope. Hull’s late substitutions paid off as Oliver McBurnie came on and scored in the 88th to wrap things up, making sure the points headed back with the Tigers.

Millwall lined up in a 4-2-3-1 shape, looking to build from the back and use width through players like Alfie Doughty, who grabbed an assist, while Aidomo Emakhu made an impact after coming on to score their only goal. Partnerships in midfield aimed to control the game, but the red card to Femi Azeez disrupted their flow.

Hull City set out in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with attacking threats like Kyle Joseph leading the line for his brace and Mohamed Belloumi providing an early assist before being subbed. Lewie Coyle stood out with his assist for the late goal, and the setup allowed them to soak up pressure and hit on the break effectively.

Coral’s Man of the Match goes to Ivor Pandur, who was a rock at the back for Hull with five crucial saves to keep Millwall at bay despite their possession edge. He only conceded one goal, added a couple of clearances and a punch to clear danger, showing real composure under pressure and earning his side those vital points.
