FA Cup Round Four Highlights, Sunday Clockwatch: Leeds United Pip Birmingham In Penalties; Wolves, Fulham Advance

Greetings and welcome to our FA Cup live blog. Stay with us for the build-up and latest updates from the fourth-round matches on Sunday.

The first game of the evening, Birmingham vs Leeds United, kicks off at 5:30pm IST. The FA Cup 2025-26, round four matches will be live streamed on the SonyLIV app and website in India. It will be telecast on the Sony Sports Network TV channels in the country.

It's a lively start to the fourth-round tie between Birmingham and Leeds United. The hosts, kicking from left to right, create an early chance and Jhon Solis misses out from close range, his shot thudding into the side netting.

Birmingham have hit the post, in addition to making six other shots on goal in the first 20 minutes. Opta stats suggest this is the most number of shots faced by Leeds United in the first 20 minutes of an FA Cup game since the 2023/24 fourth round clash against Accrington Stanley.

The referee signals the end of a goalless first half after one added minute. Despite the lack of goals, the match has been riveting to say the least. Birmingham kept coming at Leeds and the visitors kept surviving the onslaught. Let's see what the second half holds.

Leeds have the lead, soon after the second half kicks off! Noah Okafor sets it up and Lukas Nmecha lets rip a venomous shot that beats Ryan Allsop's dive in the 49th minute. The match continues to enthrall, with the visitors setting aside Birmingham's offensive dominance in the first half to go ahead.

While the Birmingham vs Leeds United clash is into its final few minutes, the Grimsby Town vs Wolves game has kicked off at Cleethorpes' Blundell Park. The hosts make a banger of a start, with Charles Vernam almost putting them ahead in the opening minute, his shot flying just wide of the upright.

Birmingham have the equaliser in the 89th minute! It's Patrick Roberts with a stunning strike that takes a deflection and heads in. We are well into the six minutes of added time and if the scoreline stays at 1-1, extra time beckons!

Patrick Roberts' late leveller takes the game into extra time indeed, and with the first 15-minute period is currently on. Remember that if the stalemate persists after extra time, the match will head into penalties.

Stoke City have the lead against Fulham in the 19th minute! Bae Jun-ho controls the ball and clatters it into the back of the net to put the EFL Championship side ahead versus the Premier League outfit. The FA Cup continues to delight!

As both teams as well as the commentators feared, the extra time ends goalless and thus, after 120 minutes, the Birmingham City vs Leeds United game is undecided. We thus head into a penalty shootout now.

Sunderland earn a penalty as Christ Makosso fouls Dennis Cirkin. Habib Diarra steps up for the spot kick and deceives Oxford custodian Matt Ingram to hand the visitors the advantage in the 32nd minute.

Heartbreak for Birmingham City! Leeds United emerge victors by a 4-2 margin on penalty shootout to storm into the fifth round and shut out the EFL Championship side.

Wolves have gone ahead at Grimsby Town in the 60th minute. Joao Gomes floats in a cross, which Santiago Bueno taps in to put the Premier League team in the lead.

Bueno's goal is enough to take Wolves into the fifth round! It's a silver lining amid what has been a dismal season otherwise for the top-flight club. As for Grimsby Town, their campaign ends here.

Harrison Reed puts Fulham in the lead for the first time in 84 minutes! Tommy Simkin's first real folly of the game is punished, as Reed comes in the way of Simkin's pass to take the Cottagers on the verge of victory.

Habib Diarra's first-half penalty proves the clincher for Sunderland, who edge past Oxford United 1-0 and into round five. Fulham are also through, thanks to Harrison Reed's late winner.

Here's a look at the muddy conditions at Blundell Park that welcomed Wolves at Grimsby Town tonight. Quite a sight, though that didn't stop the visitors from advancing.
