GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAL FOR LEEDS UNITED! The stadium falls down with emotion. Great cross from a corner kick and Wilfried Gnonto takes advantage of a rebound, to give the partial victory to his team.

It was a game with few fouls and goal scoring options, but it was a lively and interesting game. Both teams came out looking for the win. Swansea City had a good second half.

Neither team was fortunate enough to make any changes to the game. Unfortunately, they caused the game to slow down and the rhythm that we saw in the first half.

Leeds United looked to cool down the match, to reframe the actions. The locals could not find the way to win the game. Swansea City tried on all fronts, but were unlucky not to convert.

Swansea City took the lead in the match and is close to a comeback. Leeds United have been unable to regain the upper hand and have fallen off the pace, since the score. The game is still wide open!!!!

Leeds United completely relaxed and Swansea City equalized. Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal for the visitors. After a corner kick and several mistakes in the area, the actions are equalized.

We reached the hour mark of the match. Swansea City tries to take the lead of the game, but so far it has not been possible. Leeds United with very little, wins the match and dominates the actions at Elland Road Stadium.

Tanaka came on for Leeds United, looking to regain the midfield and prioritizing balance. Swansea City dropped in intensity and lost all the space they had gained in the beginning of the second half.

Swansea City had the first scoring chance so far in the match. Leeds United starts to suffer little by little the match. The home side must also move the bench, if they don't want to suffer.

There were no changes in either team. The start of the second half has been very intense and the goal is about to come at any moment. Swansea City continues to go for the same players.

End of the first half

With a goal by American Brenden Aaronson, Leeds United partially defeated Swansea City. In the 14th minute, the visitors missed a penalty and lost the chance to equalize.

4 more minutes will be played at Elland Road Stadium. Leeds United partially beats Swansea City 1-0, it has been a very lively and exciting game. Great match we have had today.

First yellow card to Ethan Ampadu (Swansea City). Play has been little cut off and the referee has allowed it to develop normally. Leeds United have taken advantage of their opponents' desperation.

Swansea City must change the strategy, if they want to have chances to tie the game. It must not only do that, but also take a lot more risks. Leeds United have been smart and have known when to attack.

Leeds United have varied in their attack, every time they set foot in the opponent's area. At times they play inside and combine it with inside play, that is to say they are not predictable and that has made it difficult for Swansea City to read their opponent.

The game had a lot of intensity, with a lot of vehemence and strength at the time of going for each ball. You can feel the importance of both teams to go for the victory. We are close to the first half hour of the match.

Swansea has had many problems in defense, their players are not tactically applied and suffer every time Leeds United passes the midfield. The locals have not generated any dangerous options, but they have come close constantly.

Aaronson, the goal scorer, was the star of the match, not only for opening the scoring, but also for his contribution in marking and helping his teammates in the doubling of the marks. Swansea City has not been able to decipher the local lock.

Leeds United has improved its strategic approach and retreats in a good way, because Swansea City has gone all out in search of an equalizer. The match has only had one goal option that ended up in the back of the net.

Swansea has gradually taken advantage of the mistakes in the Leeds United aerial game, to start attacking them using that resource. Although they have not generated clear goal scoring options, they have shaken off little by little.

Swansea City continues to suffer from the game. Leeds United have plenty of space to attack. It is getting closer and closer to further widen the score. It has been quite a lively match with a lot of pace.

Swansea City tries to get out of their own half and quickly look for an equalizer. The visiting coach supports his players with a lot of strength and intensity, so that they do not get discouraged. Leeds are looking for a second goal.

DRESSING ROOM GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!
Leeds United in the first play of the match scores. After several mistakes by the Swansea City defense, the goal came. It was a quite unexpected goal.

I think they are going to be a bit more reserved knowing that if they do try to play out from the back against us, we are so aggressive when we are pressing we get a lot of players up the pitch in really good areas.

“So when we do win the ball we are in strong areas to cause an issue and score a goal.

“I don’t think they are going to do that.

“I think they are going to try and bypass the initial press, go a little bit longer, bypass the defenders, straight onto the midfield players, possibly the wider midfield players and play from there.”

• Leeds United has 4 consecutive wins over Swansea; in the first round they beat them 3-4.
• Swansea conceded 11 goals in their 3 recent matches against Leeds.
