The second half saw Leicester defend their lead, but Coventry managed to equalize in the 79th minute and later secured a 3-1 victory. Leicester’s manager, Enzo Maresca, faced criticism for not making defensive changes and sticking with the 10 players on the field.

Dewsbury-Hall was named Man of the Match. In the end, the match stats showed Coventry with the majority of possession and shots on target.
