Sky Sports Champions League •
×

Ten‑man Huddersfield turned the 3‑0 scoreline into a confident opener for League One. The hosts raced into the lead after just four minutes when Joe Taylor robbed Zack Nelson and passed to Derensili Sanches Fernandes, who netted his league debut. Ilias Bronkhorst hit the post, but the momentum stayed with Huddersfield. Fernandes exploited a second chance, curling home a fine finish to double the advantage.

A Dutchman had a chance at a hat‑trick early onaneous, but slipped after a Taylor cross and Bali Mumba was sent off for a diving challenge. Wimbledon tried to fight back, but a header from Ryan Johnson at 71 minutes was ruled offside by Marcus Browne. The red card left Wimbledon with ten men, further weakening their attack.

Substitute Bojan Radulovic sealed the result seven minutes later, finishing a slick run from centre‑back Radinio Balker. The win gives Huddersfield a 12‑point cushion after the game. Fans celebrated in the stands, and the club will focus on maintaining momentum.

The victory leaves Huddersfield on a high start as they head into the next fixture, while Wimbledon will look to regroup.
