Half-Time Report: Sheffield Wednesday holding Wigan Athletic to goalless draw

Nothing could separate Wigan Athletic and Sheffield Wednesday in the opening 45 minutes of their Championship clash at the DW Stadium this evening, with the sides going into the break goalless.

The hosts enjoyed more of the ball in the opening exchanges, but it was Wednesday who were the first to come close when Atdhe Nuhiu's effort was cleared off the line by Ivan Ramis.

Lewis McGugan was the next to threaten in a half of few chances, picking up the ball in midfield before firing a deflected effort just wide with 10 minutes to go until the break.

McGugan came close again right on the stroke of half time when his effort from range almost trickled under Scott Carson, but the former Wednesday keeper recovered in time to make the save.
