Highlights and goals of Luton Town 1-1 Leeds United in EFL Championship 2024-2025
Draw between Luton Town and Leeds United. Luton Town's goal was scored by Jones in the 15th minute. Leeds United's goal was scored by James in the 28th minute.
The match ends and Luton Town and Leeds United draw. A very well played match by Luton Town that, taking into account the rival, is a point that is useful for their aspirations to save the category. On the other hand, Leeds United, once again, had another draw that does not help them much in their aspirations for direct promotion.
Despite needing the three points to stay in the direct promotion race, Leeds United are still finding it hard to get close to Luton Town's box. The home side are looking to keep the ball as far away from their goal as possible and why not, find a possible goal on the hour mark.
The fourth official decides to add eight more minutes of stoppage time, taking us to 90+8. It gives plenty of added time, more than enough time to see more action on this end of the match. It could be that Leeds find the goal they've been looking for or that Luton get an important win.
Off ⬇️ Struijk, Solomon and Bogle
On ⬆️ Wober, Schmidt and Byram
Triple substitution for Leeds United looking for the three points they need at the end of the game to stay in contention for the title. The away team will be looking for the win.
Incredible chance for Leeds United. James was going at speed down the right flank and sent a cross into the box where Solomon, alone, got to the ball and with his left foot, incredibly, ended up sending the ball over the goal. Luton Town is saved.
Substitution for Leeds United:
Off ⬇️ Piroe
In ⬆️ Aaronson
Luton Town Substitutions:
Substitutions for Luton Town: Off ⬇️ Jones, Walsh and Doughty
Substitutions for ⬆️ Alli, Nordas and Fanne
Several changes are made to both teams looking to change the outcome of the game.
Leeds United arrived with danger. Leeds arrived with danger after a recovery in the middle of the field. The ball ended up falling to Bamford inside the box who, with his left foot, shot directly at goal but Kaminski, with a very good response, saved the ball.
There were no dangerous chances in 72 minutes of play. The changes for Luton have not worked much with the substitution of Chong for Adebayo, and for Leeds United, the entry of Bamford, has not meant much in the opponent's area.
There's quite a lot of ball movement between the two teams. At one point, it's Luton Town who have control of the ball but without much depth. At another point, it's Leeds United who have the ball but are finding it hard to get past the pressure exerted by Luton Town in the middle of the pitch.
Off ⬇️ Gnonto
In ⬆️ Bamford
A fairly attacking change of character from the Leeds United manager by putting on a box-to-box nine and taking off a creative player. A first variation in which the intention is to send more balls and crosses into the box and perhaps find some shots.
Leeds United's Solomon is cautioned for a foul on Walsh approaching the Leeds United box. Solomon makes a foul that could mean a danger to his goal, as well as earning himself a yellow card, being the third caution of the match and the second for his team.
Still no clear cut chances so far. Luton Town have regained a lot of possession and are now playing in Leeds United's half. We're still not seeing much intensity in the pressing from either team.
The match is not yet at the intense pace seen in the first half. Still, it is Leeds United who is the team that wants to dominate the ball and be playing very close to the goal guarded by Kaminski. There has not yet been a dangerous arrival in this half.
Off ⬇️ Adebayo 🚑
In ⬆️ Chong
First substitution of the match and it is a forced substitution due to the injury of striker Adebayo. The player was playing a very good game but unfortunately the injury, has to withdraw him from this match.
The game is stopped due to a blow suffered by Adebayo. The player can't get up and the team doctors had to intervene. It seems that the player will not be able to continue and the first forced substitution of the match may come. Adebayo comes out in pain.
The second half kicks off between Luton Town and Leeds United. Let's see if the match continues with the intensity that both teams were showing. The same 11 players that were playing the first half of this match came out, no changes so far.
At the end of the first half Luton Town were playing a very good game, making it very difficult for Leeds United and taking the lead. Leeds United was able to tie the game with a very good goal and was able to get into the game. A very even match so far.
The fourth official decided to add just one more minute of play, taking us to 45+1. Little added time as very little playing time has been lost so it seems to indicate that the match will go with that score at the end of the half.
Luton Town's arrival. From a side kick, Morris combs the ball that ends up reaching Adebayo. Adebayo with the jump, ends up heading straight at goal but the goalkeeper Darlow, was very attentive and catches that ball without giving any kind of rebound.
The second caution of the match goes to Bogle for Leeds United. The player was very strong on Doughty in the middle of the pitch which causes annoyance from Luton Town players on the Leeds player. He is the second caution of the game along with Luton Town's Jones.
The match lost a little of the intense rhythm that both teams had been showing. Both teams are now playing with more tranquility, just trying not to make mistakes and with the possibility of reaching the opponent's area by touching.
At this point in the game, it is very back and forth for both teams. Leeds United are now more into the game and getting more into the Luton Town box. However, Luton Town are also continuing to get into the box with danger.
Leeds United goal, scored by James. Leeds United were constantly attacking Luton Town's area with corner kicks and in one, the rebound was received by James who, on the right and outside the box, looks for his left profile, and releasing a great shot to Kaminski's right post, equalizes the score.
Leeds are now looking to gain possession of the ball, looking to generate more dangerous moves. Luton Town's good pressing in the middle of the pitch makes it impossible for Leeds to get dangerously close to the Luton Town box.
The first yellow card of the match goes to Jones for Luton Town. The Luton Town player, in the middle of the pitch, made a hard tackle on the player Solomon. The central referee decided to caution him for that offence being the first of the match.
Leeds United still can't get into the rhythm of the game. From the start, Luton Town are the ones who wanted to show their game through good pressure in the middle of the field and possession in the opponent's half. Leeds United still can't connect any series of passes and they look unfocused in these first 20 minutes of the match.
Luton Town goal, scored by Jones. Great play by Adebayo who, from midfield, fought the ball to end up arriving in the Leeds box. This, he gave the ball to Clark who, sending a cross into the box, found Jones alone who only had to push the ball in with his right foot. Luton Town beat Leeds United 1-0.
Leeds United had the first goal of the game. From a free kick taken by James, he sends a low but poisonous cross that reaches Piroe. Piroe, with his thigh, looked to push the ball away but Kaminski made a great save.
Dangerous foul by Firpo on Adebayo, very close to the Leeds United box. The Leeds player committed a foul on the Luton player when he was waiting to send a cross into the box. Luton Town had a dangerous free kick but failed to get a direct shot on target.
The match starts off with a lot of fighting in the middle of the pitch. It is Luton Town, however, the team that wants to start by having control of the ball and with this, try to keep the ball as far away from their goal as possible. For their part, Leeds United want to be more direct in their attacks.
First arrival of the match and it is in favor of Leeds United. Solomon broke down the left flank and going to the end line, he sent a very good cross into the box where James, alone, heads against the ground but the ball ends up going very easily into the hands of goalkeeper Kaminski.
The first half begins between Luton Town and Leeds United. We will see how this match develops in which we expect a Leeds United quite propositive as they can't drop points in the fight for promotion. In the meantime, we will see if Luton Town can pull off a surprise.
