Brisbane Roar 1-2 Leeds United highlights: James and Gelhardt score in win Down Under

63’ Klaesson saves well from O’Shea’s effort. Fingertips around the post. Strong left hand.

ON: Bamford, Llorente, Summerville

OFF: Gelhardt, Koch, Sinisterra

60’ Gelhardt stands the defender up 1-v-1 on the right hand side of the box, edges his way in, great balance and bends one to the far corner. Just wide.

56’ Drameh runs forward from the right and unleashes a shot. It deflects off Greenwood for a goal kick.

53’ Neat passage of play from Leeds on the right between Klich, Greenwood and Tyler Adams. Still no meaningful inroads into the penalty area during the second half.

48’ Sinisterra works room for a shot but it’s deflected wide for a corner.

Leeds dominating the ball just as they finished the first half.

Changes at the break. Here’s the new line-up: Klaesson, Drameh, Davis, Koch, Struijk, Adams, Klich, Gyabi, Greenwood, Sinisterra, Gelhardt

Roca, Aaronson, Kristensen, Harrison, Forshaw and Rodrigo make way.

Half-time changes imminent

Davis, Drameh, Adams, Klich, Greenwood and Gyabi expected for the second half.

HT: Brisbane Roar 1-2 Leeds United

A positive start from the Whites with goals from Dan James and Joe Gelhardt.

Joe Knowles’ strike pegs Leeds back. Decent showing.
