Leeds United 1-1 Crystal Palace highlights: Whites held to draw in final Australia friendly

30’ Struijk tries to bend a cross into the penalty area but Guaita claims. Gritty last couple of minutes. Not a lot of quality.

28’ Llorente booked. Not a great tackle near the touchline.

26’ Struijk fouls Ayew who had plenty of space to gallop into in Leeds’ half. Milivojevic over the free-kick which Meslier gathers confidently.

19’ Leeds keep possession in the final third, tippy-tappy stuff around the box which ends in Aaronson winning a corner.

17’ Another big tackle on Forshaw. Ozoh with the caution for a high foot.

14’ Mateta clatters into Forshaw. Big foul and Forshaw running the knock off.

13’ Nightmare start for Sinisterra.

12’ Receiving treatment. Went down off the ball.

8’ Palace counter on Leeds which culminates in an acrobatic finish from Edouard. He scuffs it and Koch blocks inside the six-yard area.

6’ Sinisterra does well to control Bamford's pass after the ball is turned over. He returns it to the striker who slides it wide of the post. A touch of offside, too. Pitch cutting up.
