Millwall Stun Leeds United with Femi Azeez’s Brace in FA Cup Clash
Leeds United fans were left stunned as Millwall took control of their FA Cup fourth-round clash at Elland Road, with Femi Azeez playing the role of the hero. The young forward delivered a fantastic performance, netting twice to put the visitors 2-0 up against the Championship leaders. It was a game filled with intensity, drama, and unexpected twists—just what the FA Cup is all about!
From the opening whistle, both sides showed intent, but it was Millwall who made the most of their opportunities. Leeds, coming off a solid league win, made a few changes to their starting XI, but they struggled to find their rhythm. Despite having the home advantage, they couldn’t break down a well-organized Millwall defense. Then came the breakthrough—Azeez latched onto a brilliant pass and clinically finished to give Millwall the lead.

The goal rattled Leeds, and while they pushed forward in search of an equalizer, their efforts left them vulnerable at the back. Millwall capitalized on this, and once again, it was Azeez who delivered. His second goal was a moment of brilliance, silencing the Elland Road crowd and putting Millwall in firm control of the match.
Daniel Farke’s men now had a mountain to climb. With big names like Willy Gnonto and Mateo Joseph in attack, Leeds tried to mount a comeback, but Millwall’s defense stood strong. The visitors were determined, disciplined, and, most importantly, clinical in front of goal—qualities that often make the difference in knockout football.
For Leeds, this result is a bitter pill to swallow. They were expected to progress, but Millwall had other plans. The FA Cup is known for its surprises, and this was yet another reminder that no team can be taken lightly. Now, the pressure is on Leeds to bounce back in their league campaign, while Millwall will celebrate a memorable victory and look ahead to the next round.
