Hull and Millwall Share Stalemate in Play-Off Clash
Millwall dominated possession but could not break through as Hull held firm and the tie stays level ahead of the second leg.
Hull City and Millwall drew 0-0 in the first leg of their Championship play-off semi-final at a packed MKM Stadium, with 24,623 fans creating a raucous atmosphere.
The Tigers, considered outsiders by bookmakers, hosted Millwall manager Alex Neil's third-placed Lions in a cagey opening leg played before a sell-out home crowd.
Mohamed Belloumi struck the woodwork early, while Ryan Leonard's late goal was disallowed by referee Gavin Ward for a foul in the build-up.
Millwall manager Neil expressed frustration over the "really soft" decision, yet backed his side to secure victory inside 90 minutes on return to SE16.
Monday's second leg at The Den will determine which club advances to Wembley Stadium, with the play-off series firmly in the balance.
