Huddersfield vs Wigan Athletic End in Stalemate as Latics Extend Unbeaten Run

Match Report: Huddersfield Town 1-1 Wigan Athletic

Huddersfield’s disappointing League One campaign continued as they were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Wigan on 13 December 2025 at the Accu Stadium. The result highlights the contrasting fortunes of both sides, with Latics keeping their unbeaten run alive with a draw at Huddersfield Town, extending their impressive streak to nine matches across all competitions.

First Half Action and Opening Goal

The first half was a drab affair with both sides taking a cautious approach, but the Terriers took the lead after 34 minutes as Murray Wallace headed home Lynden Gooch’s free-kick. The home side appeared to have the advantage going into the break, but Wigan’s resilience would soon prove crucial.

Wigan’s Response and Near Miss

The visitors responded swiftly after the interval. Wigan hit back seven minutes after the break, though, with Callum Wright playing a ball in behind the Huddersfield defence for Raphael Borges Rodrigues, who capitalised on goalkeeper hesitation to level the score. Raphael went close to giving the visitors the lead 10 minutes later but his shot from the corner of the box hit the crossbar, in what proved to be the closest either side came to a winner.

Significance for Both Clubs

The Latics are unbeaten in their last nine games in all competitions and whilst wins haven’t been a given the run has seen them move well away from the bottom four and into 11th. For Huddersfield, currently sitting in 8th position of League One, the draw represents another missed opportunity to close the gap on the automatic promotion places. The match statistics showed Huddersfield dominated possession with 58.9%, registering six shots on target compared to Wigan’s three, but ultimately both teams had to settle for a share of the points in this competitive League One encounter.
