Huddersfield v Barnsley Match Report
Huddersfield emerged victorious in a crucial Yorkshire derby, defeating Barnsley 2-0 at home.
The Terriers, struggling for form this season, found their stride with a disciplined and clinical performance, frustrating Barnsley’s attack and exploiting their defensive weaknesses.
The game was a reunion of sorts for Huddersfield manager Michael Duff, who faced his former club after almost leading them to Championship promotion two seasons ago.

Key Moments

- 90+6' – Huddersfield sealed the win with a stoppage-time goal from David Kasumu, completing a swift counter-attack to make it 2-0 and secure all three points.
Barnsley struggled to create clear chances, and despite an improved second-half showing, they could not break down Huddersfield's well-organised defence.

Pre-Match Predictions
- Prediction: Draw with goals (1-1) – ❌
- The match ended in a clear win for Huddersfield, with Barnsley failing to find the net despite their second-half pressure.
- Prediction: Stephen Humphrys to score anytime – ❌
- Humphrys, though lively after coming on, failed to make the desired impact and did not score.
Analysis
Huddersfield’s superior organisation and ability to capitalise on set-pieces played a key role in the result. Barnsley's defensive vulnerabilities were exposed, particularly from wide areas, and their inability to sustain pressure saw them crumble late in the game.
Stephen Humphrys, a pre-match tip, failed to replicate his recent form, while Barnsley struggled to handle Huddersfield’s intensity in what proved to be a dominant home performance.
