Leeds starting XI:

James Trafford: Always alert coming off his line when danger threatened. Safe handling. Vital late save from Jan Paul van Hecke in the closing moments. 6

James Justin: Good deliveries and solid in defence. 6

Nico Elvedi: Won his physical battle with Omar Marmoush. Headed a good chance wide. 6

Tarik Muharemovic: Very solid display. A bargain. 6

Jayden Bogle: Good going forward but can consider himself very fortunate not to get a red card for a late challenge on Mathys Tel. 5

Ethan Ampadu: Leeds United's captain kept things ticking over in midfield and always a strong presence. 7

Sean Longstaff: Booking for a late challenge on Matheus Fernandes. Saw a close-range effort saved. 6

Ao Tanaka: Worked hard but missed a great second-half opportunity. 6

Gabriel Gudmundsson: Excellent first half with some lively runs. Shame he had to come off at half-time. 7

Dominic Calvert-Lewin: Hard-working and unselfish when he set up Tanaka for a chance he should have taken. 6

Lukas Nmecha: Struggling. Headed straight at Antonin Kinsky when he should have scored. 5

Leeds substitutes:

Melvin Bard (on 45, Gudmundsson): Some fine forward passes in a decent display. 6

Noah Okafor (on 77, Lukas Nmecha): Inspirational substitution by Daniel Farke. Clean finish two minutes after coming on. 7

Harry Wilson (on 77, Ao Tanaka): Tried to create. 5

Ilia Gruev (on 93, Sean Longstaff).

Joe Rodon (on 93, Jayden Bogle).

Subs not used:

Michael Zetterer, Jaka Bijol, Daniel James, Brenden Aaronson.
