The FA Cup, one of the oldest and most prestigious domestic football competitions in the world, was at stake, and both teams were determined to advance to the next round. The atmosphere in the stadium was electric, with the underdogs Reading looking to upset the odds against the powerhouse Manchester United. Doyle, a young and ambitious striker for Reading, had already scored a goal in the first half, giving his team a brief lead.
