Sheffield United had already crushed Bristol City 3-0 in the first leg at Ashton Gate. With just a draw at home needed to secure a spot in the playoff final, Chris Wilder’s men didn’t settle—they delivered another dominant display. Just like in the first leg, the Blades won 3-0, sealing their place in the EFL Championship playoff final with a commanding 6-0 aggregate victory.
Their final opponent will be either Sunderland or Coventry City, with Sunderland currently holding a 1-0 lead in the other semifinal. The winner of that tie will face Sheffield in a match that will determine who earns promotion to the English Premier League.
As in recent games, Bangladesh-origin right-back Hamza Chowdhury started for Sheffield. His impact throughout the season has been consistently solid, and once again, he delivered a standout performance. His defensive stability and intelligent play have made him a key figure for the team, and yesterday was no different—earning him love and applause from the home crowd.
In the second leg of the EFL Championship playoff semifinal, Hamza Choudhury delivered a rock-solid defensive display to help Sheffield United claim a commanding 3-0 win over Bristol City, confirming their place in the final with a dominant 6-0 aggregate victory.
Hamza also played a key role in building attacks. He made 4 successful passes in the final third and maintained an impressive 93% passing accuracy, showing his control, confidence, and composure on the ball. While he didn’t register a goal or assist, his influence was evident across all areas of the pitch.
With attacking support from teammates like Callum O’Hare, Kieffer Moore, and Gustavo Hamer, Hamza didn’t need to push forward aggressively. The team secured a comfortable win without much resistance from Bristol.
