Leeds United kick off their 2024/25 Championship campaign at home to Portsmouth this afternoon. Kick-off is at 12:30pm.

The Whites are back in competitive action this weekend with their season opener against Pompey just hours away.

Daniel Farke said in his pre-match press conference on Thursday that he can count on a fully fit squad for the visit of John Mousinho’s League One winners, which means a number of key selection decisions befall the German before a ball is even kicked.

FT: Leeds United 3-3 Portsmouth

That’s the tale of the tape on Matchday 1. A point, when it could so easily have been none.

90+8’ Aaronson played 1-on-1 with Norris, slotted in by Bogle. And he puts it wide.

GOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL AARONSON 3-3

90+5’ In the final minute of stoppage time, Aaronson takes the ball from Piroe, buys a yard and shoots low from 18 yards.

90+3’ Three of the five added minutes eaten up already.

90+2’ Lang slots it. Meslier sent the wrong way.

90’ Saydee rolls Bogle into the penalty area and goes down under pressure, arm round the neck although the Pompey man is holding Bogle’s shirt. Referee awards the spot-kick.

88’ Meslier has a save to make. Granted it's from a shot from the centre-circle but he grabs it. Twenty shots to three I think it is at this point.

86’ Struijk goes into an ill-advised one as Pompey try and break. Might have been a yellow was he not already on a yellow.

86’ Towler yellow-carded for pulling Georginio back. I count that the seventh time the Frenchman has been fouled.

82’ Rothwell takes a free-kick quickly, Firpo crosses for the near post and Bamford heads well wide. Defender did a good job.

79’ Joseph off, Bamford on.

77’ Bamford called back to the bench to get ready.

74’ Bogle gets down the right and sticks a cross into the corridor of uncertainty across the six-yard area. Back post vacant, Joseph half throws a head at it.

72’ Rothwell on; Gruev off. Gnonto off; Aaronson on. Piroe on; James off.

67’ Bogle puts it through the defender’s legs but his cross is blocked. Gnonto tries again, works room for a shot which is deflected away for a corner.

65’ Norris punches the corner to Gnonto, nice first touch, blasts it goalwards and it's deflected off target for another corner.

63’ Sorensen off; Saydee on.

Another opportunity

62’ Norris saves again, this time from Georginio. Shot straight at the goalkeeper from 18 yards.
