In the second half, “The Daggers” did not demonstrate at any time that they deserved the tie, so it was not a surprise that after 25 minutes the result in favor of the “Lions” was extended on the scoreboard.
Defender Joe Bryan advanced on the left side and sent a cross towards the far post that was very well finished by De Norre, who went from being perceived by the rival defense in the area, to then finish at the goal and score 2-0 .
Finally, Bangura-Williams, who came off the bench, sealed the 3-0 with a powerful shot in the final minutes of the match. The 20-year-old striker signed, last week, for the first time a long-term contract with the club that saw him grow as a footballer.
In the next stage of the tournament, Millwall will face Leeds on February 8 at 12 (Argentine time).
The third round of the FA Cup will continue this Tuesday at 4:45 p.m. (Argentine time) with three more matches: Preston vs Charlton, Mansfield vs Wigan and Leyton Orient vs Derby.
