Leeds United v Nottingham Forest U18s today, gonna be a great game!
17: Good chance for Forest. Fin Back beats two Leeds players before finding Gabriel Ogunseri with a lovely pass, but the forward sees his shot blocked by Oliver Casey. (0-0)
22: Goal! Leeds take the lead through Niklas Haugland, who makes an excellent run before firing home from just inside the box. (1-0)
30: Another chance for Forest as Gabriel Ogunseri produces a great run getting past several Leeds players before a neat one two with Keith Asare, but the former can’t get his shot away. (1-0)
44: Even game so far. Keith Asare comes close for Forest with a curling strike from just outside the box, but it goes inches over the crossbar. (1-0!
HT: Leeds United U18 1-0 Nottingham Forest U18. (Haugland 22)
50: Goal! Forest grab the equaliser through Will Swan who was threaded through before placing it neatly past Harrison Male. (1-1)
53: Kumwenda breaks forward for Leeds but is stopped by a brilliant tackle from Tawanda Mutoti. Game on now. (1-1)
58: Good work in the middle from Gibson-Hammond before finding Ogunseri, but his shot from a tight angle is straight into the gloves of Male. (1-1)
60: Both left backs have been excellent for their teams today. Malique Spooner does well to hold of several players, his cross then finds Asare but his shot is blocked. Even so far but Forest beginning to get the edge. (1-1)

70: Kumwenda gets the better of Mutoti but drags his shot wide. Close for Leeds. (Timestamps are estimated btw, forgot to keep track of when the second half started!) (1-1)
76: So close for Leeds. Dane Burlace’s low free kick just goes wide of the post. (1-1)
77: Jamie Thornton and Sam Leverett on for Leeds. (1-1)
89: Close for Leeds! Kumwenda is through but Statham makes an impressive save to deny him. (1-1)
So close! Niklas Haugland fires a volley wide for Leeds. Surely not long left now. (1-1)
