Ed Upson worked his way past a couple of tackles tight to the left touchline before the third, by Bruno brought him down.
But Malone's free-kick was headed parrly away by Matt Upson and further clear by Bruno.

3:19pm
David Lopez poked a clever pass through Malone's legs to send Orlandi away and it should have led to the first serious Albion threat.
As the move continued, Bruno stood up an inviting cross to the far post but Ulloa got his contact all wrong as he rose for the header.

3:12pm
Stephens won possession 25 yards out but his shot bounced comfortably wide of Forde's right-hand post as Albion started to settle.

3:10pm
A foul by Bruno offered another free-kick chance five yards outside the box but Williams' curler went straight to Kuszczak.
Lingard popped up on the right and his work helped create room for Bruno to cross - but Shittu cleared.

3:06pm
Millwall made a bright start and won a free-kick in the inside left channel.
They sent plenty of plaers into the box but Ed Upson looked to surprise Kuszczak by curling inside the near post.
His effort was just too high, landing on the roof of the net. But it met with approval from home fans.

3:03pm
Lingard, in bright orange boots, started wide on the left with David Lopez out on the right.
There was a terrific atmosphere around the Den.

3:02pm
Albion defending a very well populated away end in this first half.

2:59pm
The play-off hopefuls visit the team just above the bottom three - but there are sub-plots too here at the Den today.
They involve loan deals which happened this week. Plus one which did not come off last year.
Jesse Lingard is thrown straight in to start after joining the Seagulls from Mancester United for the rest of the seaosn.
Meanwhile Owen Garvan is not just a new recruit for Millwall. His arrival also enables them to play a new shape.
And then there is Simeon Jackson, the striker Albion wanted to take on loan last March. That deal did not come off - and now he finds himself asked to lead the attack against the Seagulls in place of out-of-favour Steve Morison.
The teams are out, both sets of fans are singing. Kick-off is moments away...
