Leicester City's FA Cup run came to a dramatic end on February 14, 2026, as they succumbed to a 1-2 extra-time defeat against Southampton in the fourth round. The match, held at St. Mary's Stadium, saw young forward Divine Mukasa Tayon Mahogany continuing his impressive run of game time since joining Leicester on loan from Manchester City in January.
The Foxes found themselves trailing at halftime, thanks to a Cyle Larin penalty in the 45th minute. However, Oliver Skipp equalized in the 52nd minute with a stunning volley past Southampton goalkeeper George Martin Long, forcing the contest into extra time.
Southampton ultimately secured the victory with a James Bree goal in the 109th minute, sending Leicester out of the competition. This match marked Mukasa's third appearance and second start for Leicester City.
Leicester City will now shift their focus to the English Championship, with their next fixture scheduled for Saturday, February 21, 2026, away to Stoke City at the Bet365 Stadium.
Born in the United Kingdom to a Ugandan father and Lithuanian mother, 18-year-old Mukasa is eligible to represent Uganda, England, or Lithuania at the international level.
