Millwall wrapped the regular season with a 2-0 win over relegated Oxford, clinching third place and a berth in the Sky Bet Championship play‑offs. Femi Azeez netted both goals, the first arriving in the 34th minute and the second three minutes after the break. The victory lifted the Lions to sixth on the final day, edging past rivals.

Meanwhile Ipswich Town’s 3-0 home win over QPR confirmed their promotion, leaving Millwall to settle for the play‑offs. Hull City await the Lions in the semi‑final, having finished sixth themselves. Oxford’s early chance fell to Will Lankshear, but defensive lapses allowed Millwall to dominate possession and create the bulk of scoring opportunities. Thus Millwall missed automatic promotion as Ipswich’s win sealed their ascent.

Anthony Patterson kept a clean sheet as Oxford struggled to threaten, with Jamie Cumming making several saves late on. Millwall’s attacking trio of Azeez, Camiel Neghli and Barry Bannan showcased the firepower that propelled them into the post‑season. The Lions now travel to Hull for the first leg, where a win will still firmly keep their promotion hopes alive.
