  • FA Cup result and final score after late De Bruyne magic - Leyton Orient 1-2 Manchester City: De Bruyne came off the bench to complete the comeback after the League One side led at half time

The article details the FA Cup match between Leyton Orient and Manchester City, which ended with Manchester City securing a 1-0 victory thanks to a late goal by Kevin De Bruyne in the 74th minute. Despite Manchester City's dominance in possession and numerous attempts on goal, Leyton Orient's defense held firm for most of the game. The match was significant as it was Manchester City's first game of 2024, and they managed to avoid an upset against the lower league team. Pep Guardiola, Manchester City's manager, made several changes to the lineup, resting key players like Erling Haaland and Phil Foden, which might have contributed to the lack of early scoring. The game also highlighted the FA Cup's tradition of potential giant-killings, although Manchester City's quality eventually shone through with De Bruyne's decisive strike.
