Despite taking the lead through Jamal Lowe, who forced his way through a crowded penalty area to prod the ball past Hull goalkeeper Ivor Pandur, Wednesday’s joy was short lived.
Less than 60 seconds after the restart, Matt Crooks squared the game, tapping home Kyle Joseph’s low cross. The Tigers then completed the turnaround right on the stroke of half-time when Dominic Iorfa headed a free-kick into his own net.
The home side made sure of the points after the restart when Joseph stroked home a cool finish from inside the penalty area to put the contest to bed.
Here is how The Star rated Wednesday’s players at the MKM Stadium:
9. Svante Ingelsson - 6
Typically busy, offering Wednesday an outlet on the break with his running power to go beyond Hull's defence. His free-kick caused chaos in the build-up to Lowe's opener. He worked hard, trying to make things happen as he so often does, but, unfortunately, it was to no avail. | UGC
10. Jamal Lowe - 6
Showed terrific perseverance to bundle his way through the Hull defence and get his shot off for the game's opening goal. He worked hard throughout, drifting out to the left in the second half. | UGC
11. Jerry Yates - 6
Worked hard at the tip of Wednesday's attack, trying to give his teammates something to aim for. However, his involvement faded as the second half unfolded. | UGC
12. Max Lowe - 5
Made his return from three months out through injury just past the hour mark. | UGC
