Leicester City coach Root Pannistelrooy was involved, and the two teams, which were similar to the sluggish flow, continued to play from the beginning of the first half, and there were few threatening attacks. In the 22nd minute of the first half, Manchester United's shot was the only shot throughout the first half in a situation after a corner kick.




Rather, Leicester scored the first goal. Leicester seized the ball through forward pressure in the 41st minute. Ndidi, who received Elcanus' cutback pass from the left side of the box, tried to shoot was blocked by Onana. However, the ball hit Reed's head right in front of Onana again and headed into Manchester United's goal. After that, Leicester finished with a 1-0 lead in the first half. Throughout the first half, the two teams rarely made threatening attacks on each other with six shots. The market share was also not much different, with a 50-50 share.

In the second half, Manchester United worked hard to make up for it. After Garnacho received the correct pass in the 20th minute of the second half, he even tried to shoot by drilling through the left side of the Leicester penalty box. The ball that hit the defense seemed to go into the goal as it passed over to the goalkeeper, but Okoli's fantastic save in the last minute prevented the ball from crossing the goal line.

Manchester United, which continued to seek opportunities, balanced the game. In the 23rd minute of the second half, Garnacho's cross from the left reached Hoyleun in the center of the box. Hoylun's shot fell in front of Zirqzi with a lucky deflection. Zirkji's shot headed into the empty goal and equalized.




Garnacho blew a golden opportunity. In the 34th minute of the second half, Garnacho had a good shot opportunity in the penalty box with a perfect penetration. However, Garnacho's last shot hit the side net as it was. Garnacho tried to shoot again in the 43rd minute of the second half but was caught by the goalkeeper.

Maguire saved the team. In the second half of extra time, he shook Leicester's net with a header and scored the winning goal.

In the end, the game ended with a 2-1 victory for Manchester United.
