Leeds United maintained their unbeaten pre-season run with another decent performance and a 1-1 draw against AC Milan in Dublin on Saturday.
Daniel Farke’s side enjoyed an aggressive and exciting start, with Anton Stach rattling the crossbar and Willy Gnonto spurning a one-v-one chance, but they fell behind on the half-hour mark. Isaac Schmidt was caught out of position as Milan worked the ball down their left, striker Santiago Gimenez eventually smashing home at the back post from a cross.
Leeds continued to push for an equaliser as half-time passed and the second-half went on and after a string of 65th-minute changes, Stach levelled with a brilliantly whipped cross-shot that flew into the far corner. The Whites almost conceded late but for an unconvincing Karl Darlow save, with the two sides eventually settling for a draw.
