Sheffield United 0-0 Gillingham: Goalless draw at Bramall Lane
Saturday 9 April 2016 20:56, UK
Sheffield United and Gillingham played out a goalless draw in League One despite a number of good chances at either end.
United's Che Adams went close to scoring in the opening minute when his thunderous shot from an acute angle rattled the woodwork.
The visitors enjoyed a good spell with Rory Donnelly's overhead kick only just clearing the bar after keeper George Long dropped a long throw. Long then saved Jake Hessenthaler's 20-yard effort.
Adams' shot from the edge of the area was kept out by Stuart Nelson, who also saved from Ryan Flynn, Paul Coutts and Billy Sharp before the break.
Gillingham's Deji Oshilaja wasted a great chance, heading over from close range.
