Although Leeds advanced to the next round of the FA Cup, the duel with Birmingham was not easy for the team.
Idman.Biz reports that Birmingham had the initiative for a long time. The home side created several real chances but failed to open the scoring.
After Daniel Farke intervened in the squad at halftime, Leeds looked more confident and took the lead with a beautiful long-range shot from Lukas Nmecha.
However, the game scenario did not change completely. Birmingham equalized in the final minutes after Patrick Roberts' touch on the ball, taking the match to extra time. Although the extra half hour was filled with mutual attacks, the winner was not determined.
In the penalty shootout, Leeds were more accurate and the team advanced to the next stage. Farke's team, which is in a superior position in the fight to stay in the Premier League, is now continuing its journey in both the championship and the cup.
