Leeds had to come from behind to beat Real Sociedad as Jesse Marschâs side continued their mid-season preparations.
Scorers: Struijk 16â˛, Rodrigo 58â˛; Zubimendi 10â˛
The visitors took an early lead when MartĂn Zubimendi ghosted between both Luke Ayling and Pascal Struijk to nod in a towering harder beyond Joel Robles.
Leedsâ Belgian defender would make amends in sensational fashion just minutes later as Rodrigoâs cross was knocked down to Marco Roca, who set up Struijk to fire in a powerful effort from 20 yards.
A much-changed Leeds side took control of the game just before the hour mark, somewhat against the run of play.
Rodrigo, who had spurned a chance to get in behind the Sociedad defence just moments before, created his own luck and latched onto a loose ball to put Marschâs side ahead.
Leeds return to Premier League action on the Wednesday after Christmas as they host Man City.
