Hull 1-1 Leicester (5-4 after penalties): Mahrez miss sends Tigers through

Riyad Mahrez's missed penalty sent Hull through to the Capital One Cup quarter-finals after a 5-4 shoot-out win over Leicester at the KC Stadium.

Mahrez - who had sparked Leicester into life after his second-half introduction - put the Foxes ahead in the first period of extra-time (100), only for Abel Hernandez to equalise five minutes later.

But after providing the breakthrough, the Leicester winger saw his opening penalty in the shoot-out 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 block from Ritchie De Laet denied a certain goal after good work from Mohamed Diame 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 Mark Schwarzer almost gifted Hull the lead from a corner. Harry Maguire looked to have given the hosts the lead but though his team-mates thought the ball had crossed the line as Schwarzer scrambled, the officials disagreed.

Diame and Ryan Taylor had gone close earlier for the Tigers, while second-half substitutes Jamie Vardy and Mahrez livened up a stale Leicester attack in the closing stages.

Mahrez saw a goal-bound strike superbly blocked by 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 Chuba 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.
