Half-Time Report: Greg Luer strike puts Hull City in front against Rochdale

Hull City hold a 1-0 half-time advantage over Rochdale in the second round of the League Cup, thanks to Greg Luer's impressive first-half strike.

Greg Luer's standout finish has given Hull City a 1-0 half-time lead over visitors Rochdale in the League Cup at the KC Stadium this evening.

Hull began the game in a positive fashion and they almost went ahead through Ryan Taylor, who saw his free kick fly just a few inches too high of the Rochdale goal.

The home side did not have to wait too long to find an opening goal and it arrived in the ninth minute through Luer, who drilled a memorable effort from distance into the bottom-left corner past Josh Lillis.

Rochdale produced very little in front of goal, although Reuben Noble-Lazarus let fly from range before seeing his effort kept out by a calm Eldin Jakupovic.

City frontman Abel Hernandez seemed to be in impressive form in the first half, and he nearly doubled the hosts' lead on two occasions only to skew his shots wide.
