Millwall Regain Second Spot in Championship with Victory over QPR

A strong start proved pivotal for Millwall as they secured a 2-0 win over QPR in the Sky Bet Championship, elevating them back to second place in the standings. Following a slump with only one victory in their previous five matches, Millwall's promotion bid was revitalized by early goals from Derek Mazou-Sacko and Camiel Neghli. The team's dominance was evident from the outset, with Mazou-Sacko scoring his first goal for the club after just three minutes. This breakthrough eased the nerves of the home supporters, who had witnessed their team lose their last two home games. Millwall continued to dictate the pace, with Neghli adding a second goal in the 17th minute. The team's relentless pressure yielded several more scoring opportunities, but they were unable to extend their lead beyond two goals. QPR made adjustments at halftime, introducing four new players, but despite creating some chances, they were unable to breach Millwall's defense. Millwall manager Alex Neil expressed satisfaction with his team's aggressive approach, which he believed was essential for securing the win. In contrast, QPR's Julien Stephan acknowledged his team's lackluster first-half performance and the need for improvement in competing for the ball and winning duels.
