Hull City and Millwall‘s Championship play-off semi-final is still very much in the balance after a goalless draw in the first leg.
The Tigers almost took the lead in the second minute, Mohammed Belloumi going close after a remarkable individual run down the left.
Camiel Neghli brushed the post with a long-range effort for Millwall, whose star man Femi Azeez forced Hull goalkeeper Ivor Pandur into action as the game opened up in the closing stages.
Ryan Leonard had the ball in the net four minutes from time, only for his effort to be chalked off for a foul by Tristan Crama on Charlie Hughes.
Millwall manager Alex Neil told Sky Sports: “I thought we were the better side so I’m probably not satsfied if I’m being honest just because we were better in the game – they didn’t really risk the ball.
“We could have moved the ball better and Barry Bannan coming on gave us more of a stranglehold in the game.
“If you’d said at the start of the season we’d have one game at home to get us to a play-off final and it’s all square I’d have taken it.”
On the disallowed goal, he added: “I thought it was really soft, both lads were at it so it’ll be interesting to see Gavin’s [referee Gavin Ward] thoughts on it when he watches it back.
“Throughout the game he let a lot of things go but it’ll be interesting to get his thoughts on it, I’m sure he’ll say he thought it was a foul.”
