🟡 Foxes Strike First

Leicester took the lead on 18 minutes when defender Caleb Okoli rose highest from a well‑worked free‑kick to power home and put the away side ahead. It was a deserved opening goal that rewarded patience and precise delivery into the box. Boro had a few chances of their own but couldn’t convert early pressure into a goal — until the very end of the first half.

🔴 McGree’s Equaliser Lights Up Riverside

Just as the clock ticked into first‑half stoppage time, Middlesbrough’s Riley McGree showed his quality, latching onto a loose ball and firing low past the Leicester keeper to bring the home crowd to life. That equaliser — a key moment for Boro’s league ambitions — ensured the teams went into the break level, feeding a growing sense of excitement and tension among fans.

⚖️ Both Sides Had Chances

In the second half, Middlesbrough dominated possession and created pressure, while Leicester looked dangerous on the break and via set pieces. Both keepers made important saves, and despite some late chances — including a couple of strong efforts from McGree — neither team could find the winning goal. The draw means Boro remain just a couple of points shy of the Championship lead, while Leicester take another valuable point in their fight to climb the table.
