Millwall progressed to the next round of the EFL Cup with a 1-0 victory over Cambridge United. Jake Cooper's ninth-minute goal settled the tie, and the visitors controlled much of the play from there.
The decisive moment came early, Zak Lovelace setting up Cooper to score. Millwall could not add a second, and Cambridge enjoyed more of the ball as the game wore on, but they rarely threatened. Patrick Bauer and Glenn McConnell were both booked in the second half, in the 50th and 87th minutes respectively.
Millwall dominated the underlying stats, with 57% possession, nine shots to Cambridge's eight and four shots on target to one. Both teams recorded an expected-goals total of 0.00, underlining the lack of clear-cut chances. Cambridge's goalkeeper made two saves to keep the scoreline respectable.
