Wiles found his options limited from a tight angle before finding Washington, who tried his luck with a low shot which was blocked by Michal Helik.

The former Bohemians striker was in the thick of the action and he firstly rose highest to meet Bramall’s centre, in the next home attack, but his knock down was scrambled clear by the Huddersfield defence before he fired a fierce drive which stung the palms of Nicholls, soon after. Barlaser had a couple of attempts to deliver a cross, before he finally clipped a centre to the far post, and Wood, in typical bulldozing fashion, headed the ball back into the danger area and Kelly was ever-alert, by poking the ball home from close range. Minutes later, Harding was felled by Yuta Nakayama and Dan Barlaser caressed a lovely free-kick into the box and Wood ghosted in around the back to meet his centre with an instinctive header but Lee Nicholls was able to pluck his effort out of the sky with ease. From the resultant corner, Thomas delivered a centre and Rhodes outjumped his marker to head goalwards but thankfully for the home side, his effort was straight down the throat of Viktor Johansson.
