Millwall U18s 1 Southend United U18s 1

Whilst The Lions' first team took the weekend off, Millwall's youngsters opened their Cup campaign at the Bromley Training Ground, where they fought out a 1-1 draw with Southend United.
The home side went into the match having gained maximum points from the three matches played in theLeague so far.
Their last league match was at Colchester United and, despite going a goal behind, strikes from Jake Gallacher, Connor French and David Adedipe saw the young Lions run out eventual winners.
So on to the Cup competitions and this match against Southend was a classic 'game of two halves'. The first was played mostly in the middle of the park where both sides worked hard but failed to produce an end product.
In fact, The Lions gained only a solitary corner and the visitors failed to win one at all, although the home side did put together one or two promising passing moves but were unable to deliver a lethal final ball.
Goalkeeper Jamie Farmer did however, prevent The Shrimpers taking the lead on the half-hour mark when his flying save across the goalmouth denied striker Rhys McKay.
Millwall started the second half brightly and following a series of dangerous attacks took the lead in the 50th minute thanks to defender Jake Goodman, who volleyed home having connected perfectly with a Jack Samoutis free-kick into the Southend box.
Following the breakthrough it was all Millwall and the visitors were fortunate not to concede a second. Visiting goalkeeper Luke Chambers plucked the ball right off Aiden O'Brien's head following a super run and cross by defender Connor McLaren.
Chambers again came to his side's rescue, this time just beating the advancing O'Brien to the ball having been played through by French.
Minutes later roles were reversed as the keeper denied French having been set up by O'Brien.
By the 75th minute the visitors were battling their way back into the game and only some superb defending allowed The Lions to retain their lead, Farmer's triple save allied with the combined efforts of Gallacher, McLaren and Goodman to deny Southend from forcing the ball over the goal line.
Five minutes later, however, the visitors did grab their equaliser when a free-kick into the home penalty area fell loose to James Stevens who fired home through a ruck of players.
The final minutes of the match saw action at both ends as keeper Farmer saved well from Julian Okai and McLaren's cross into the Southend's six yard box just needed the merest of touches from the advancing forwards to snatch a victory for The Lions.
Millwall's next four matches will all be played as part of the Football League Youth Alliance Cup, with the league campaign resuming on 9th October.
