Middlesbrough Dictates Pace at The Den Against a Disorganized Millwall
In a match played at The Den in London, Middlesbrough secured a victory against a Millwall side that, despite playing at home, failed to impose their game. The match, corresponding to the second matchday of the Championship, ended with a clear scoreline favoring the visiting team.
The first half was characterized by a stop-start game marked by fouls, resulting in numerous yellow cards for both teams. Millwall accumulated cards for T. Crama, J. Coburn, and B. Mitchell before halftime, while T. Conway received a yellow card for Middlesbrough.
Middlesbrough opened the scoring early in the second half with a goal from H. Hackney assisted by M. Whittaker. Millwall tried to react, but encountered a solid defense and an uninspired offensive game, reflected in the low number of shots on target. Middlesbrough extended their lead in the final minutes with goals from A. Jones and D. Burgzorg, sealing the match.
Millwall, with 45% possession and only one shot on target, showed problems in creating play and finishing. Middlesbrough, on the other hand, took advantage of their greater possession (55%) and capitalized on their opportunities, taking a well-deserved victory from The Den. The referee, Tom Nield, showed a total of eight yellow cards in a tense and hard-fought match.
