Millwall and MIddlesbrough have played out a goalless first half as the sides meet in the Championship this evening.

The visitors started the game brightly with a number of slick passing moves, before Marvin Emnes broke free inside the box only to see the Millwall defence scramble back to crowd the ball out of play.

Emnes looked impressive early on and he was in the thick of things again having been been found by Curtis Main, but once more he was crowded as he looked for a sight on goal.

Both sides found it hard to control the ball given the slippery conditions on show, but Liam Feeney did well to break away on the counter, only to deliver a fairly tame across into the box, which was cleared easily by the Boro defence.

The game's first shot on target did not arrive until the 42nd minute, with Millwall's Alan Dunne testing Shay Given from distance, as the first half ended 0-0.
