Crystal Palace U23s 1-3 Leeds United U23s RECAP - Goals for Crysencio Summerville, Liam McCarron and Sean McGurk as Whites win

Chance! Gelhardt flashes a volley over, via a deflection, from Bate’s corner.

30 - Both sets of players engage in some pushing and shoving. Cresswell involved for Leeds. Some terrific posturing from players on both sides, alas no punches thrown. Cresswell gets a yellow card for his part in the silliness. A Palace defender joins him in the book.

36 - Not a great deal going on. Leeds look firmly in control since the sending off, as you’d expect. They’re not finding it easy to break Palace down centrally but out wide Summerville and Drameh are causing problems on the right. That’s where most of the danger is coming from.

Chance! Gelhardt darts into the area, cutting in from the right, and his low shot is well saved by Whitworth at the near post.

38 - Yellow card for Jenkins for a foul that halts a counter attack for Palace.

40 - Adam Forshaw takes a corner. The ball isn’t in the D and he knows that. He takes the corner anyway and will have to live with himself. The corner does not lead to a chance, Palace clear.

Leeds’ tempo is quite good, the pressing is good and Bate almost wins the ball in the Palace area.

Chance! Drameh found by Forshaw and the right-back’s quick feet take him past defenders and as he gets towards the byline he shoots. It’s saved, the ball bounces out and Summerville is put off by a team-mate as he shapes to shoot.

Penalty shout! Bate with a really nice body swerve to take the ball past the full-back and drill it into the middle, where Gelhardt goes down under attention from a defender. No spot-kick this time.

As the board goes up to signal three minutes of time added on, Palace are in on the right hand side and a shot is dragged just wide by Rak-Sakyi. Let off for the Whites.

That’s the first half over. Plenty of action. Some nice play from the visitors. Forshaw trying to keep Leeds moving quickly, Bate buzzing around, popping up everywhere. Drameh and Summerville the two most impressive performers for the Whites however. Great opportunity to start the season with a win, this.
