Derby pressure
2. Good start from the hosts this evening. Couple of deep throws in the Leeds half. They also win an early free-kick but United defend well.
Derby shot
3. First effort on goal of the evening. Aghatise runs at the Leeds defence. He lays it off and gets it back. He spins on the edge of the box and fires an effort on goal. Klaesson watches it fly past the post.
Leeds offside
5. A nice move from a throw from the Whites. Moore, McKinstry and Miller involved. It’s Moore who tries to race onto a ball inside the Derby box but he’s flagged as he pulls a low cross back from the byline.
Derby attack
6. A dangerous ball is flashed into the area from the left as the hosts break. Kenneh swings a boot at it to clear and then an errant shot flies behind.
Derby take the lead
9. Leeds fail to clear their lines. A free-kick comes in from the halfway line. There’s a second and third phase... the ball eventually drops to Aghatise inside the area and United don’t take the warning and he fires into the bottom corner of the net past Klaesson.

12. Aghatise, again, with some good work. He sprints past Kenneh and is taken out right on the edge of the area.
