00:00.
00:05Leicester, a city reeling from relegation, a seismic relegation which has shaken the football world.
00:14A stadium which looks to be half empty.
00:18A group of players who have quality, but most of whom didn't have the fight to match that quality.
00:24The brutal championship has found them out and thrown them out into lower league football.
00:30And just to rub salt into Leicester wounds, they now look up and see Millwall approaching.
00:35A team which does have fight, does have spirit to match their quality.
00:39And a team which could be heading onto a different planet than where Leicester City are going.
00:48He'll want a performance tonight for the fans more than anything.
00:55Plenty in the box here for Millwall, Ivanovic is free and heads it back.
00:59And a touch from Thomas in the midst of all that.
01:02And it spins behind for a Millwall corner as Donora, who was setting his sights, holds his head.
01:08This is a terrific header square from Ivanovic.
01:12Good recognition that he can't score from that position.
01:14And just that wall of blue stopping Donora from opening the scoring.
01:19Mill, the cry from the Millwall fans, so way to our right.
01:22Just over 3,000 of them here facing their former manager.
01:28And right now they're on the journey of a lifetime.
01:34And the reason Gary Rowett did bring Harry Winks on against Hull, when this place was relatively bouncing,
01:41considering the situation they were in after they scored the second against Hull,
01:44was to protect the ball and try and protect the lead.
01:47First Femi Aziz after Leicester turned over possession, it's Leonard!
01:52Into that side netting via a deflection it seemed, but goal kick is the outcome.
01:58Well it's a corner first and foremost, and what it is as well is beautiful play from Aziz.
02:04Giveaway by Chowdhury, look at the way he takes this away from Thomas, beautiful stuff.
02:08And Leonard, that's goal bound.
02:10You would imagine Solacic's gonna stop it, going directly towards him, but needed the intervention of Suta.
02:16Well there you go, the Leicester City fans making their feelings to the hierarchy clear, and to the players.
02:24This should not have happened, but it has.
02:34It's Skip, Thomas is waiting in the middle.
02:38There's Hamza Chowdhury.
02:40As Leicester City look to rise up here, Thomas again, Harry Winks, hit with feeling but drives it wide.
02:48Half a chance for Harry Winks to take aim, brilliant run from Skip, and it's Leonard on the cover.
02:56Fantastic defending, just as Thomas looked poised to score.
02:59Perfect cut back from Skip, you feel like Thomas is gonna add to his goal from Tuesday.
03:05Terrific defending.
03:10He never lets Millwall down, Ryan Leonard.
03:14You wondered how that right-hand side would function tonight with Kramer going infield.
03:20Him and Aziz have been electric together in tandem, but, yeah, Leonard has been so dependable.
03:25He's been a star, I think, for Millwall across his days in midfield and now more used to playing at
03:31right-back.
03:33Well, Ivanovic, as you can see, has taken a heavy hit here.
03:36Yeah.
03:38Well, the first one, you accept, I think, as a centre forward, but I'm not so sure about the second.
03:42Hmm.
03:43Big moment.
03:44But the official's seen it.
03:47I think he's just trying to protect himself and just trying to out-muscle rather than do the Millwall centre
03:52forward, but...
03:54Not a pretty sight.
04:04Cameo Negli.
04:05Sturge in space on the far side.
04:07Ballou in the middle.
04:08It's Zach Sturge who fires wide.
04:10Again, Millwall in a really promising position, but don't make the most of it.
04:15And that's been a feature, I think, Sturge, certainly in his position,
04:19maybe not being fed as much as he would have liked, but here, look at the space that opens up
04:24with Ballou's position.
04:25Again, drawing Choudhury across.
04:27Sturge still has to do better.
04:35There's Zach Sturge from Millwall as they make their way forward.
04:40It's Ivanovic!
04:41Stalácsic got an important touch on that as he took evasive action.
04:46Sturge.
04:47It's Donora!
04:51For Tawu.
04:52Cooper with the challenge.
04:54And the yellow card is out for the Millwall captain.
04:57But a big, big moment in front of that Leicester City goal.
05:00It was, and it just lacked a little bit of conviction from Ivanovic in front of goal.
05:05Brilliant play from Negli.
05:06Really unselfish.
05:07Just cushioned it.
05:08Delightfully square.
05:09And he doesn't quite catch it.
05:11Doesn't get the meat of the ball there.
05:12Any kind of elevation.
05:14And surely Millwall are a goal to the good.
05:17And this is full-blooded to say the least.
05:19Look at that high.
05:20Wild from Cooper.
05:22He's a lucky boy.
05:23That's a really poor challenge.
05:27Donora.
05:29Moved on by Negli.
05:35Femi Aziz.
05:36Balow waiting in the middle.
05:37And Stalácsic reacts again.
05:43A terrific ball in.
05:44Excellent attempt.
05:46Balow who's been at the forefront of a lot of Millwall's good attack in play.
05:51Just feeds it into an area.
05:52He's more determined than Chowdhury.
05:53Gets caught underneath the ball.
05:55Just can't angle it towards either corner.
05:58It's relatively central.
06:00Gives Solácsic an opportunity.
06:01That goes down into the turf.
06:04And surely that's the opening goal.
06:07That was a threatening break that was on there for Millwall.
06:15Femi Aziz.
06:16Donora.
06:18Negli.
06:19Negli plays that ball in.
06:20And no takers for Millwall.
06:23Great ball.
06:24As it's transferred right to left.
06:26You know it's going to be touched.
06:27And then thrashed into that space.
06:29In between the back line and goalkeeper.
06:31And he puts it in.
06:33With real venom.
06:34They just can't quite get there.
06:36Langstaff at the near post.
06:38Maybe the most interested suitor.
06:41Well, he wants his players to play without tension.
06:44But it is getting tense.
06:49Winks.
06:51Jeremy Monger.
06:52Hurst-Thomas.
06:54Plenty still in the box here by Leicester City.
06:56Including Suter.
07:02It's a special moment for Harry Suter.
07:05After all of the pain and the frustration.
07:09Some light at the end of a long dark tunnel.
07:14Misery craves company.
07:15And Leicester City.
07:17Relegated and in a mess.
07:19A look to ruin Millwall's automatic promotion dream.
07:24Well, what a moment for him.
07:26And undoubtedly, he has been colossal in the other 18-yard box tonight.
07:30Defensively, he's won absolutely everything.
07:32And we finally get a real quality delivery.
07:36Look at that from Thomas.
07:37And I think he does get the touch.
07:40He goes in with real aggression, as you would expect, given his stature.
07:45And he forces it over the line.
07:47A combination maybe of defender, goalkeeper, I'm not sure.
07:50But it suites determination.
07:52It's his presence and it's his desire that has been missing sorely from this Leicester side.
07:57Well, they have travelled in their numbers from South East London tonight.
08:02In the hope of taking this to the final day for automatic promotion.
08:08We are heading towards additional time at the King Power.
08:12There's Barry Bannon.
08:14Cundall.
08:17It's Langstaff.
08:25He may just have saved the game for Millwall.
08:31They are keeping the pressure on Ipswich Town.
08:35This could be priceless.
08:38Well, what a brilliant two-touch finish round the corner from Kramer.
08:42I think it was.
08:43The take.
08:44The awareness of where he is on the pitch in the 18-yard box to drill it.
08:49Perfectly into the far corner.
08:51Gets his angles spot on.
08:52It's Ryan Leonard, in fact.
08:54Takes the pace off the ball.
08:56Lovely little assist from the full-back.
08:59An erring finish from Langstaff.
09:02Beautiful stuff.
09:03It's not over.
09:05A swing at the boot.
09:07We just put Millwall back in the second place in the Championship.
09:13Negli.
09:15Chaudhary going to ground.
09:17And this is a test of the Leicester City players' mentality.
09:20So many times.
09:22That sinking feeling.
09:23The setting here.
09:25At the King Power.
09:27Can they show a little bit of resilience?
09:29Can they keep trying to defend their box with the same vigour they have done?
09:32Cundall with the ball in.
09:34And Stelarcic is right behind that.
09:37Femi Aziz with the header.
09:39But straight at Stelarcic.
09:41Oh, what an opportunity.
09:43Hits his shoulder.
09:45Doesn't get his head onto the ball.
09:46Just needs to guide it.
09:47Back towards the far corner.
09:51Doesn't make the correct contact whatsoever.
09:53Alex Neal certainly did.
10:02Jeremy Monger.
10:04Louis Page.
10:05Goes for goal.
10:06And Paterson is behind it again.
10:10And that is it.
10:13Ipswich Town are the big, big winners here tonight.
10:17And they're not even here.
10:19But Millwall have managed to salvage the situation.
10:23And it still could go to the final day.
10:28Macaulay Langstap firing home.
10:30What could still turn out to be a priceless goal in the end.
10:33To level up for Millwall.
10:35That was after Leicester City had hit the front through Harry's suit up.
10:40But you can see from the Millwall body language that maybe Millwall's players feel
10:44that this is not good enough for them tonight.
10:47To take the fight to the final day.
10:49For the second automatic promotion place.
10:52They have moved though into second place.
10:55But Ipswich Town hold all the cards.
10:57It's finished.
10:58Leicester City 1.
10:59Millwall 1.
