In a commanding Sky Bet Championship match at The Den, Millwall secured a 2-0 victory over Oxford United, with Nigerian prospect Femi Azeez stealing the spotlight. The 24-year-old winger opened the scoring in the 34th minute with a clinical finish, giving the Lions an early edge. Just three minutes after the halftime interval, Azeez struck again, effectively sealing the win for his side.
Azeez’s standout performance takes his season tally to 11 goals and eight assists in 35 Championship appearances, underlining his growing reputation as a key player for Millwall. Despite the triumph, Alex Neil’s team fell short of automatic promotion to the Premier League, finishing just outside the top two spots.
Millwall now turn their attention to the Championship playoffs, where they will face Hull City, led by Nigerian defender Semi Ajayi, in the semi-finals. The clash promises to be a thrilling encounter between two sides vying for a place in English football’s top flight.
