Millwall Defeats Leeds, Advances in FA Cup

Millwall advanced to the fifth round of the FA Cup for the first time since 2019 with a 2-0 victory over Championship leaders Leeds United, largely thanks to two goals from Femi Azeez. Azeez, who had only scored once for Millwall before this match, capitalized on counterattacks to find the net in both halves, with his efforts aided by deflections. Despite making 10 changes to their starting lineup, Leeds struggled to convert numerous chances and were thwarted by Millwall's disciplined defense and goalkeeper Liam Roberts, who saved a crucial penalty from Pascal Struijk. Millwall's manager Alex Neil praised Azeez for his performance and highlighted the team's ability to defend resolutely and threaten on the break. The win marked Millwall's fourth consecutive victory in all competitions and handed Leeds their first defeat in 15 games. The match underscored Millwall's effectiveness as a cohesive unit and Azeez's growing influence within the team.
