Millwall are out of the EFL Cup after a 1-0 defeat at the Abbey Stadium against Cambridge United.
The U’s go through to the second round following a goal from Liam O’Neil just after the hour mark – after his strike flew into the bottom corner.
The Lions started well and had half a chance when Tom Bradshaw’s strike flew over the bar from a tight angle. That was to be the end of his night after he came off after suffering a muscle injury during the attack.
The first half was a half of few chances and it wasn’t until the second half that the game livened up – Isaac Olaofe hit the side netting moments in.
Cambridge went ahead when O’Neil’s strike found the bottom corner with twenty-nine minutes of the game remaining.
George Honeyman was sent off moments later when he received a second booking and will now miss Millwall’s trip to Bramall Lane this weekend.
Millwall’s best chance fell to Olaofe who won the ball high but couldn’t find the back of Will Mannion’s net from a one-on-one.
That’s how the game finished and the Lions full focus turns to the Championship starting with Sheffield United on Saturday.
