A goalless draw was the outcome at MKM Stadium on Saturday, 5 September 2026, as Hull City and Aston Villa played out a 0-0 stalemate that never really caught fire. Villa had the better of the possession, holding the ball for long stretches, but Hull looked the sharper side when it mattered, forcing four saves to Villa's one. Half-time came with the scoreline unchanged at 0-0, and neither side found a way through after the break either. Villa's Z. Suzuki was the standout performer, picking up the official man of the match award with a rating of 7.68, marshalling things well even as the final product went missing at the other end. Villa edged the corner count and had more efforts at goal overall, but couldn't turn that control into a breakthrough. For Hull, a point at home against last season's pedigree won't feel like a bad afternoon's work, while Villa will wonder how they didn't find a winner given how much of the game they had.
The Matchup
Hull City and Aston Villa drew 0-0 at MKM Stadium, in a game that could easily have finished either way. Neither team could really take control of the ball for long, with Hull City holding 26% possession, close enough to an even split to explain why the game never settled into one side's favour. Both sides had spells on top without ever pulling clear, and the shot count on the day backs up just how tight things were. A draw is rarely the result either team sets out to get, but on this occasion it was a fair reflection of ninety minutes where chances were shared roughly evenly. Below is a closer look at exactly how the numbers from the match broke down.
