Leeds United 1-1 Crystal Palace highlights: Whites held to draw in final Australia friendly
HT subs
ON: James, Hjelde, Greenwood, Gelhardt, Summerville
OFF: Bamford, Aaronson, Struijk, Adams, Koch
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.
Head-to-head
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.
Booking
39’ Tell me if you’ve heard this one before. Tyrick Mitchell booked for tugging Aaronson back.
Another yellow
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.
26’ Struijk fouls Ayew who had plenty of space to gallop into in Leeds’ half. Milivojevic over the free-kick which Meslier gathers confidently.
Intricate
19’ Leeds keep possession in the final third, tippy-tappy stuff around the box which ends in Aaronson winning a corner.
