Events

- 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
- 25' Millwall FC is showing some good football. However, Millwall FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 30' It looks surprising Millwall FC does not make any changes. George Saville has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
