On Saturday morning in England, after a 14-year hiatus, a historic derby between "Millwall" and "West Ham" took place.

Before the match, "West Ham" and "Millwall" fans agreed on a location where they were supposed to fight. However, instead of showing up, "West Ham" fans reported "Millwall" supporters to the police, who met them at the scene.

The match, meanwhile, was high-scoring and ended in a draw – 2:2.

In the 16th minute, Cameron Taylor scored, and in added time, Mark Sykes almost scored with a long-range shot. However, shortly thereafter, a goal was scored, and the hosts had a tangible lead before halftime.

In the second half, "West Ham" forward Taty Castellanos was suspected of spitting at the opposing goalkeeper, but the referees took no action.

Mohamadou Kante equalized the score in the 74th minute, and six minutes later, Konstantinos Mavropanos equalized again after a pass from Manor Solomon.

There was also a red card – in added time, for a last-ditch foul, M. Kante saw it after scoring a goal earlier.

In the end, the match finished with a peaceful result, at least on the football field.

"West Ham" currently remains in first place in the "Championship" league.
