Maguire scores in extra time, Man Utd struggles to beat relegated team

This morning's FA Cup clash on February 8 is the third time Man Utd has met Leicester City in the 2024-2025 season. Compared to the previous two encounters (both won by 3 goals), Man Utd had more difficulties but still won.

The Red Devils' opponents are a team struggling to stay in the Premier League. However, coach Ruben Amorim's team still struggled in the first half of the match and did not create any dangerous opportunities.

In contrast, Leicester City attacked less but had more threatening situations. At the end of the first half, after Manuel Ugarte lost the ball, Leicester City attacked Man Utd's right wing and scored. Goalkeeper Andre Onana blocked the shot but the ball hit a Leicester City player and bounced into the net.

The loss made Man Utd "wake up" in the second half. The home team attacked better with a ball possession rate of up to 61%. They made 11 shots and created 4 dangerous opportunities. After many continuous pressure phases, Man Utd equalized in the 68th minute with a shot from Joshua Zirkzee.

Coach Amorim's players continued to dominate and attack. However, Leicester City defended very firmly. It was not until the extra time of the match that the home team scored the decisive goal. Harry Maguire's header helped Man Utd win 2-1 and enter the 1/8 round of the FA Cup.
