FA Cup semi-finalists confirmed after Leeds beat West Ham on penalties

Leeds United will join Chelsea, Manchester City and Southampton in the FA Cup semi-finals after defeating West Ham United 4-2 in a penalty shoot-out at the London Stadium on Sunday. The quarter-final match saw West Ham come back from a 2-0 deficit—goals from Ao Tanaka and Dominic Calvert-Lewin gave Leeds a commanding lead—but Mateus Fernandes and Axel Disasi scored late to force extra time, which remained goalless. Leeds ultimately prevailed from the spot. The semi-final draw will determine the pairings for the final four teams competing for the trophy. This is a straightforward sports result with no direct policy, economic, or infrastructural impact for Nigerian audiences beyond general sports interest.
