Leeds United take on A-League side Brisbane Roar in the Queensland Champions Cup as part of their pre-season schedule.
Leeds dominating the ball just as they finished the first half. 53’ Neat passage of play from Leeds on the right between Klich, Greenwood and Tyler Adams. Still no meaningful inroads into the penalty area during the second half. 60’ Gelhardt stands the defender up 1-v-1 on the right hand side of the box, edges his way in, great balance and bends one to the far corner.

All the latest from Down Under as Jesse Marsch's side take on Brisbane Roar in the first of three games in Australia.
Leeds attack seems to be killed off by a Brisbane interception, but Forshaw is supporting from deep, picks up the loose ball and immediately feeds James into space down the right channel. Incidentally, the Spanish forward went to watch State of Origin last night with Liam Cooper and Dan James. Winger takes a touch and then drives it into the bottom, near corner. Bobs and weaves in off the right flank, one vs one, and finds the angle for a cultured, curled effort of his left peg for the far corner. Bamford with his back to goal on the edge of a crowded box. Klaesson gets beaten to the bounce of a pass and then Davis can't quite get a foot on the ball as the last man on the goal line. He goes right with James, who then clips a high ball into the back stick. Leeds looking a little ragged defending in the past few minutes. Adams and Gyabi sitting in the double pivot. No real sights of goal for Bamford or the forwards in a little while. Meanwhile, Brisbane are benefiting from beating Leeds on the break. It makes this year’s pre-season a lot more interesting than in some previous years, with many Whites fans hoping to catch the games, no matter how early some of them kick off.

In the final few seconds, Brisbane went even closer to equalising than their previous attempt. With the game edging towards its conclusion in Queensland, Bamford went close to extending the lead down the opposite end. Brisbane did have attacking moments of their own and with five minutes to go until the interval, they got themselves back in the match following a quick counter attack. Jay O’Shea found space at the back post and picked his spot, but at full stretch, Kristoffer Klaesson produced an excellent diving save to tip the ball around the post. A clever ball from Adam Forshaw - who was wearing the captain’s armband from the start - found James on the right of the area. The closest either side came was through Gelhardt, who narrowly curled wide from the edge of the box.

Some neat touches in a congested penalty area, glanced a Sam Greenwood cross just past the post. Lasting 30 minutes and replaced by Luis Sinisterra, he got the opener with a brilliant finish – before his gorgeous chip was headed in by Joe Gelhardt. This summer is a big one for Drameh. With Luke Ayling injured and Kristensen coming in, he has to make an impression. His passing was good, but it is clear that his defensive mindset will give Leeds a good screen in front of the defence. But it must be said, Sinisterra joined Leeds less than a week ago and it will need time to get up to speed. Some neat touches in Aaronson’s first showing as a Leeds player, the USA star looked calm and composed. What a start Roca has made to life at Leeds. But it was not the 25-year-old’s performance from left-back that was the issue, it was his passing and crossing. Strong in the air, good on the ball. But very good in possession, expected of a Germany international that can play in midfield. Almost scored in first half with a rebound. Comfortable when in possession, and made a brilliant left-handed save on 62 minutes.

But Leeds have been active in the transfer market, buying a clutch of players to try and avoid a repeat of last season's nerve-racking experience. "So it's about the togetherness of the group, the commitment to the tactics and how we want to play and getting game fitness." First-half goals from Daniel James and Joe Gelhardt did the damage, before they lost some momentum in the second stanza and did well to hang on for the win.
Leeds United starting XI: Klaesson; Kristensen, Koch, Struijk, Harrison; Roca, Forshaw; James, Rodrigo, Aaronson; Gelhardt.
Joe Gelhardt is given the nod in attack, leading the line whilst Patrick Bamford has to settle for a place on the bench. Marc Roca and Adam Forshaw line up in midfield with recent arrival Tyler Adams only on the bench. Usual left back Junior Firpo is out injured and whilst we have seen Harrison at left wing back on occasion, this now looks to be a chance for him in a back four.
