Millwall secured their first point of the Sky Bet Championship season at Hull City after a 0-0 draw on Saturday lunchtime.
Tom Bradshaw had the best chance for Millwall in the second half but, couldn’t beat City keeper Ivor Pandur.
A game of few chances means it’s not one that will live long in fans memories but, it gets Millwall off the mark for the season and a clean sheet away from home.
Japhet Tanganga returned to the side following suspension in place of Shaun Hutchinson who dropped to the bench.
The first chance came after just two minutes, George Honeyman’s corner met the head of Tom Bradshaw but he headed it over the bar when he could have done slightly better.
Set-pieces are big part of Millwall’s attack and it was another corner which caused a problem for the home side’s defence. Tanganga on his return was next to have a chance, George Saville’s corner went deep towards the centre-half he took the ball down and fired goal wards but, his shot was blocked.
Hull’s first effort came in the 14th minute, Marvin Mehlem’s free-kick failed to test Lukas Jensen in the Millwall goal.
Millwall’s best chance of the first half fell to Saville in the 19th minute, played through by Romain Esse, his shot was tame but Pandur made a smart stop nonetheless.
The Tigers for the most part struggled to break down a Lions defence that was organised very well and maintained their shape superbly, a massive difference from the opening two games which saw the Lions ship seven goals.
Bradshaw had the best chance for the Lions in the second period. The ball falling kindly for the former Barnsley man but his turn and shot was straight at the keeper.
Hull again found it hard to breakthrough the Lions defence. Their best chance came through Chris Bedia but he was denied by a superb save from Lukas Jensen.
It ended goalless to give the Lions their first point of the campaign ahead of a return to The Den next weekend to face Sheffield Wednesday.
