Hull 1-1 Leicester (5-4 after penalties): Mahrez miss sends Tigers through Last Updated: 27/10/15 11:20pm
Riyad Mahrez's missed penalty sent Hull City through to the Capital One Cup quarter-finals after a 5-4 shoot-out win over Leicester City at the KC Stadium. Mahrez put the Foxes ahead in the first period of extra time, slotting home on 100 minutes after Jamie Vardy broke the Tigers' offside trap.
Eldin Jakupovic denied the in-form England striker, but Mahrez followed up to tap into an empty net. Abel Hernandez equalised for Hull five minutes later, sliding home from inside the six-yard box after Chuba Akpom's low shot was parried by Mark Schwarzer.
Mahrez brought Leicester to life after his introduction in the second half, but the winger's opening penalty in the shoot-out was saved by Jakupovic and it proved decisive. The next eight takers all scored, and David Meyler stepped up to bury the winning spot-kick to send Hull through to their first Capital One Cup quarter-final in the club's history. The Tigers, looking to stretch their unbeaten run to nine games in all competitions, had the better of the first-half.
Greg Luer was presented with the their best opportunity inside three minutes, but a superb Leicester block denied a certain goal after good work from Mohamed Diame down the right had set up the former Burgess Hill Town striker.
Shaun Maloney then went close with an acrobatic overhead kick, while Diame, the best player on the pitch in the first 45 minutes, blazed over in the 38th minute after Andrew Robertson's low centre.
The Scotland defender was a key outlet for Steve Bruce's side as Leicester sat back and soaked up Hull's pressure.
Claudio Ranieri, who made 10 changes from the victory over Crystal Palace, looked to hit the Championship opposition on the break, but his team failed to create a single clear-cut opening before the interval - Andrej Kramaric's effort from range inside 20 seconds was the Foxes' only strike on goal before half-time.
The second half came alive in the final 10 minutes as Schwarzer almost gifted Hull the lead from a corner. The Leicester 'keeper flapped at Maloney's cross, but scrambled back and the Foxes cleared off their own line.
iame and Ryan Taylor had gone close earlier for the Tigers, while second half substitutes Vardy and Mahrez livened up a stale Leicester attack in the closing stages.
Mahrez saw a goal-bound strike superbly blocked by Harry Maguire in stoppage time but Schwarzer's error was the closest either side came to a goal inside 90 minutes.
The match sprung to life in the first period of extra time, as Mahrez put the Foxes ahead despite protests from Hull. The Leicester winger tapped home after a lightning counter-attack had released Vardy, but the opportunity started with a Hull penalty appeal in the Leicester box.
Hernandez levelled the scores five minutes later, bundling home from two yards after Schwarzer palmed Akpom's shot back in the danger area.
Both sides then looked happy to settle for penalties, only for Mahrez to miss with the Foxes' first effort. Jakupovic saved well down to his left-hand side, setting up Meyler with the chance to make history for his side after the two teams had traded successful spot-kicks.
The midfielder did not disappoint, blasting high into the net to send Bruce's side through to the last eight.
