Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Leeds United FC vs Crystal Palace FC — let the football do the talking.
  • 3' What a moment for Jack Harrison! That strike on 3 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 8' It looks surprising Crystal Palace FC does not make any changes. Raphinha has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 13' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 18' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 23' It looks like no one’s ball. Leeds United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 28' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 33' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Leeds United FC and Crystal Palace FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 37' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Gary Cahill on 37 minutes.
  • 42' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Leeds United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 46' Andros Townsend has so much to prove this time. He replaces Patrick van Aanholt on 46 minute.
  • 51' The travelling Crystal Palace FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 52' What a strike from Patrick Bamford! The score is 2-0.
  • 57' Scott Dann has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 62' Andros Townsend, a England , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 65' Michy Batshuayi is replacing Jean-Philippe Mateta for the Crystal Palace FC side.
  • 70' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 75' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Luka Milivojevic suffering a number of foals already.
  • 76' A meaty challenge results in booking for Luka Milivojevic on 76.
  • 76' Crystal Palace FC ring the changes. Jordan Ayew has done his job and it is now time for Christian Benteke to step up.
  • 81' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 86' Jairo Riedewald has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 88' The supporters are chanting for Jamie Shackleton. He replaces Kalvin Phillips on 88 minute.
  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Leeds United FC to claim maximum points.
