45’ Into stoppage time

45’ Kristensen plays a good forward pass into Rodrigo’s feet who flicks it round the corner for Bamford. He lines up to shoot and it’s directed behind.

From the corner, it comes to Kristensen whose header is wide.

41’ A bit of edge to this game, too. Tyler Adams shunted by Jordan Ayew. Adams stands his ground and the pair briefly go forehead-to-forehead. Calm down, lads - it’s pre-season.

39’ Tell me if you’ve heard this one before. Tyrick Mitchell booked for tugging Aaronson back.

32’ Palace defender Aaronson penalised for a lunge on Rodrigo.

Forshaw coming off now, too.

30’ Struijk tries to bend a cross into the penalty area but Guaita claims. Gritty last couple of minutes. Not a lot of quality.

28’ Llorente booked. Not a great tackle near the touchline.

26’ Struijk fouls Ayew who had plenty of space to gallop into in Leeds’ half. Milivojevic over the free-kick which Meslier gathers confidently.

19’ Leeds keep possession in the final third, tippy-tappy stuff around the box which ends in Aaronson winning a corner.

17’ Another big tackle on Forshaw. Ozoh with the caution for a high foot.

14’ Mateta clatters into Forshaw. Big foul and Forshaw running the knock off.
