Last season, the EFL Cup ended dramatically with Liverpool securing their record-extending tenth victory. The win was clinched by the Reds during extra time against Chelsea at Wembley, thanks to a decisive goal by Virgil van Dijk.

In the EFL Cup format, all 72 clubs from the English Football League enter at the first-round stage. Premier League teams, however, join in at the second or third round, with the latter reserved for clubs participating in European competitions. In the previous tournament, Middlesbrough distinguished themselves by advancing to the semi-finals, despite being outside the top flight.

The current game sees Walsall and Leicester City at a deadlock, with the first half ending goalless. Notable plays included Leicester City’s Ricardo Pereira winning a free kick in the defensive half at the 21:00 mark, and several corner opportunities for both teams.

Key moments from the match notably include missed attempts by Albert Adomah of Walsall, whose left-footed shot from the center of the box at 20:52 did not find the target. Players such as Caleb Okoli, Odsonne Édouard, and Abdul Fatawu from Leicester City have also been actively engaged, conceding and committing fouls throughout the match.

As the second half gets underway, the score remains Walsall 0, Leicester City 0. Fans are keenly watching for developments and the possibility of extra time should the match continue without a leading side.
