League One Huddersfield ran out comfortable 3-0 winners at home to League Two Morecambe to book their place in the second round of the Carabao Cup.
Both sides made eight changes to their weekend selections and Jaheim Headley, one of Huddersfield’s, opened the scoring just 30 seconds in, chesting home the rebound after Harry Burgoyne saved Lasse Sorensen’s shot.
Sorensen was the provider again as Huddersfield doubled the lead after 38 minutes, West Ham loanee Callum Marshall calmly finishing a low, early cross to the far post on his debut.
More good work from Marshall produced Huddersfield’s third goal five minutes later as he won a challenge out wide, then came inside to feed strike partner Danny Ward to coolly finish.
Morecambe did not get a shot off until Jordan Slew fired well over the bar in the 56th minute and their evening got worse as Kayden Harrack was dismissed with 15 minutes to go.
The defender received a second yellow card for a desperate challenge on substitute Josh Koroma to stop him entering the penalty box.
Huddersfield were unable to add any more goals, though, with Koroma hitting a post off a great Herbie Kane pass and wasting a presentable one-on-one with the keeper.
