Leeds started the match 4-4-2
with Nick Gray at right back and Howson and Moore up front.
The first half was a little dour with the only noteable Leeds effort from Pugh who shot across goal but was a yard wide with his effort.

City took the lead on 25 mins after Wilberforce came out to punch a cross and was left in no man's land when Sibierski headed hom.

Leeds seemed more determined in the 2nd half and it was Moore who was more determined in particular.
60 mins Moore header from a corner was inches wide
68 mins Moore backheel to Einarson whose shot was well saved by Weaver in the City goal.
70 mins 14 Hird replaced 6 Kilgallon
75 mins 15 Ameobi replaced 10 Howson
80 mins 16 Bayly replaced 8 Einarson
85 mins Wilberforce produced the save of the match as he managed to get a hand to a 30 yrd piledriver
90 mins Moore chased a lost cause into the corner, won the ball and suared the ball to Bakke on the edge of the area, only for Bakke to shoot wide.
