With the score at 3-2, all the pressure shifted to the Leicester City players.
As the home team, they needed to apply pressure on Chelsea quickly, but to be honest, it wasn't going to be easy. After all, they were up against the formidable Chelsea!
On the sidelines, Leicester City's coach was shouting instructions, urging his players to attack immediately.
And the players followed through. But the truth was, Chelsea's individual talent was overwhelming.
Particularly in midfield, where Cesc Fabregas and N'Golo Kanté showcased incredible control, making it extremely difficult for Leicester City to break through.
Leicester had to opt for a different strategy—sending long balls forward.
This time, Maguire, controlling the ball in the backline, didn't hesitate. He sent a perfectly-timed long pass!
In an instant, the ball soared through the air in a beautiful arc, landing right at the feet of Mahrez.
Without a second thought, Mahrez took control.
He surged forward with the ball. Mahrez was, without a doubt, Leicester's most dangerous player when it came to one-on-one breakthroughs. His pace and skill on the wing often left defenders helpless.
And this time was no different.
Mahrez made quick work of Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso, gliding past him with ease. Despite being on the wing, Mahrez still managed to find a chance to cross the ball.
But surprisingly, he didn't.
After hesitating for a split second, Mahrez decided to push forward!
In a flash, Mahrez forced his way inside, cutting along the byline.
David Luiz and Rudiger scrambled to cover, rushing to help in defense, but it was still Mahrez who found the opportunity to deliver a crucial pass.
A perfectly executed pass!
Mahrez made an inverted triangle pass, sending the ball straight to Vardy, who was positioned in the middle.
Keep in mind, Vardy had already scored twice in this match, and he was on fire.
Receiving the ball in that position, there was only one thing left to do—shoot!
As expected, Leicester's star striker unleashed a powerful volley!
The ball rocketed towards the goal like a cannonball!
But just at that critical moment, Chelsea's legendary goalkeeper Courtois demonstrated why he's regarded as one of the best.
With lightning-fast reflexes, he dove to the side, stretching out his hands.
Courtois denied Vardy's spectacular shot!
It was a stunning display of skill, silencing the Leicester fans who were just moments away from celebrating at the King Power Stadium.
