How did the match go?

Despite playing away from home, Leeds United took control from the very first minute of the opening half. In the fifth minute, the visitors opened the scoring: after a shot by Calwert-Lewin, Lemmens parried it into the middle of the box, and Okafor pounced on the rebound to smash it into the net. The pressure continued and, in the 29th minute, Leeds scored a second. After a scramble in the box, Okafor fired from outside the area to give his team a comfortable lead going into the break.

The second half started badly for Manchester United. In the 11th minute, center-back Lisandro Martínez pulled Calwert-Lewin’s hair and, after a VAR review, left the Red Devils down to 10 men. Even so, despite being a man down, the team pushed forward. In the 24th minute, Bruno Fernandes took a corner, Casemiro beat his marker and headed home to cut the deficit. In the closing stages, Manchester United applied heavy pressure, but they were denied by an excellent performance from Darlow, who secured the win for Leeds.
