40'
OJO DANGER:
Ojo is tripped near the halfway line after going past Mitchell. He has to be the best player on the pitch so far.
-
36'
CLOSE!

Eze's shot is blocked, it falls to Gallagher on the edge of the box and his swerving effort goes narrowly wide.
34'
VIEIRA REPRIMANDED:
The referee Antony Taylor jogs to the touchline to have a word with Vieira over his animated behaviour it seems.
32'
PALACE CONCERNS:

The visitors need to get Mateta, Gallagher and Olise more into the game. Too many aimless long balls.
-
28'
MILLWALL CORNER:
Ojo's low cross is blocked by Hughes for a corner after a swift passing move. The corner misses everyone, it falls to Ojo around 30 yards out and his tame shot is smothered by Butland.
On the balance of play, the Lions deserve their lead, their tactics have worked to a tee.
-
24'
GOOD SAVE!

Schlupp's shot from a tight angle just inside the box is beaten away from the keeper, its a corner. The dleivery is headed away.
22'
CHANCE!

Palace freekick around 40 yards from goal, Olise's delivery is headed clear only to Schlupp whose shot from the edge of the box skews horribly wide.
20'
CHANCE!
From a long throwin into the Palace box, its flicked on and Saville's tame volley is saved by Butland.
-
18'
WHAT WAS BUTLAND THINKING?
He looked to be in two minds, whether to dribble, pass, clear it. An absolute horrow show. Similar to Man City's second goal against Swindon last night.

GOAL FOR MILLWALL!
Awful by Butland who hesitates on a backpass, is dispossesed and Afobe slots it home.
16'
PALACE CORNER:

Palace opt to play it short and it breaks down. You could argue they dont have many tall players in their side who are good in the air compared to their opponents.
14'
SCRAPPY START:
Gallagher is okay to continue. It is still a scrappy affair, the only real chances were the Millwall corner which hit the bar and Afobe's shot.

INJURY:

Gallagher looks to have a wound on his face after a stray elbow and is getting treatment from the physios.
8'
CHANCE!
Bradshaw does well to play it into the path of Afobe in the box and he hooks his shot over while leaning back. He should have done better from there.
6'
HUGHES LUCKY:
Hughes with a sliding challenge on Ojo, the follow through was studs showing and caught him, he's fortunate to escape a booking.
4'
EARLY TACTICS:

Palace's buildup play has been slow and patient, playing it out from the back. Millwall are sitting deep, waiting to pounce on the counter.
