However, the game also made headlines after tempers flared in the fixture’s closing stages.
Everything started after a rough challenge between Millwall’s Jenson Metcalfe and ‘s Josh Sheehan.
Sheehan, 31, ended up on top of Metcalfe, 21, with his shin pressing against the back of his opponent’s neck.
The ace then appeared to lunge onto his counterpart while they were off the ball.
That led to straight red cards for both clubs who were left with ten men on 86 minutes.
And that sparked a massive brawl that even saw subs getting involved from both sides.
But thankfully sane heads prevailed and the whole thing blew over swiftly.
This comes after another heated incident between fellow Championship sides and Cardiff earlier today.
The game in the 70th minute at Fraton Park following a throw-in.
ace Krystian Bielik was trying to retrieve the ball in front of the home fans.
Bielik, 28, then appeared to grab a fan by the neck in unsavoury scenes.
The supporter in question seemed to slap the ex- youngster in retaliation before he was seen escorted out by stewards alongside his family.
Portsmouth won the game 2-0, making it a doubly poor day for the centre-back.
The Poland international was not punished for the incident, though he did pick up a booking in the ninth minute of the contest.
It remains to be seen whether or not retrospective action will be taken against Bielik once the incident is reviewed.
