Leicester City beat Oxford City 4-2 to advance in FA Cup
Leicester City, the 2021 champions, avoided an upset by defeating sixth-tier Oxford City 4-2 at the MGroup Stadium to reach the FA Cup second round.
Leicester City progressed to the second round of the FA Cup with a 4-2 victory over Oxford City at the MGroup Stadium, avoiding what would have been a significant upset against sixth-tier opposition.
The League One side, who won the competition in 2021, were reportedly made to work for the result by their lower-league hosts. Leicester scored four times en route to the win, while Oxford City managed to find the net twice despite the gap in league standing between the two clubs.
The match was played at the MGroup Stadium, with the result confirming Leicester's place in the next round. Oxford City, competing several tiers below their visitors, exited the competition despite their two-goal showing.
Details of the scoring and the wider context of the tie were limited in the source material, which noted that the match report was available to UK users only.
