Plymouth Argyle Stun Millwall with a Strong First-Half Performance
Alright, let's talk about what just went down at Home Park! Plymouth Argyle delivered a big statement in their Championship clash against Millwall, securing a commanding 2-0 lead by halftime. It was a game full of intensity, early drama, and a solid defensive performance from the home side.
The match started with a bit of luck for Plymouth as Millwall's Joe Bryan accidentally put the ball into his own net just six minutes in. That early own goal gave Argyle the momentum they needed, and they wasted no time capitalizing on it. Just four minutes later, Ryan Hardie stepped up and calmly slotted home a penalty, giving the home side a dream start.

Millwall, sitting 14th in the table before the game, were expected to dominate possession, and they did. The visitors controlled nearly 70% of the ball, but it was Plymouth who looked more dangerous when it mattered. The Pilgrims defended well, kept their shape, and frustrated Millwall's attack, limiting them to only a few real chances.
Ryan Hardie, fresh off scoring twice against West Brom in their previous match, looked sharp once again. His confidence was evident, and he kept the Millwall defense on their toes throughout the first half. Argyle’s midfield, led by captain Adam Randell, worked tirelessly to break up play and launch quick counters. Randell did pick up a yellow card in the 40th minute, but that was just a sign of how committed the home side was to getting a result.
Millwall, on the other hand, struggled to break down Plymouth’s well-organized defense. Despite their high possession stats, they failed to create enough clear-cut chances. Aaron Connolly and Aidomo Neghli tried to spark something in attack, but Plymouth's backline, led by Katic and Talovierov, held firm.
Going into halftime with a 2-0 lead was exactly what Plymouth needed. Before this game, they had been struggling near the bottom of the table, but back-to-back wins could be just what they need to turn their season around. Meanwhile, Millwall will need to regroup fast if they want to get back on track in the promotion race.
With the second half underway, all eyes are on whether Plymouth can hold on and secure a massive three points. Will Millwall find a way back, or are Argyle on their way to a crucial victory? Let’s see how it all unfolds!
