Leeds United 2:0 RB Leipzig — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Leeds United beat RB Leipzig 2-0 in a Club Friendly, with Ethan Ampadu the standout performer, setting up a clash with Manchester United on 12 August. The scoreline flattered the Yorkshire side, who were second best for long spells but took their chances ruthlessly.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin opened the scoring after seven minutes, pouncing on a loose ball in the box when Leipzig failed to clear. The visitors dominated possession but created little of note, and Leeds sealed the win in the 90th minute through Lukas Nmecha, who finished coolly on the counter as the German side pushed for an equaliser.

Leipzig controlled the ball with 59% possession and had three shots to Leeds' one, yet the scoreboard read 2-0 to the hosts, who were clinical where it mattered. Ampadu earned an 8.39 rating in midfield, anchoring the side without scoring, and his composure underpinned the win.
