Leeds United visited Leicester City on Saturday and were defeated 1-0 in a match valid for the Premier League. The game marked the debut of coach Jesse Marsch, who arrived to replace Argentine Marcelo Bielsa.
In a bad campaign, the Leeds team is in 16th position, with 23 points, close to the relegation zone. Leicester, meanwhile, reached 10th place after the triumph.
The match started busy and with superiority from Leeds, who accumulated the main opportunities. In the first few minutes, Daniel James forced Kasper Schmeichel to make a good save.
After suffering some attacks, Leicester balanced the game and started to take danger. The team’s best opportunity came in the 45th minute of the first half, with a header by Wilfred Ndidi.
In the second stage, both teams attacked, but also gave space to the opponent. After 20 minutes of a game “back and forth”, Leicester opened the scoring from a beautiful table between Iheanacho and Harvey Barnes, who hit a cross in the goalkeeper’s right corner.
Leeds, then, tried to go forward and seek the result, but Leicester advanced their marking and bothered the visiting team’s departure, which little managed to produce.
Leicester’s next commitment is against Rennes, from France, in the Conference League. The game takes place this Thursday at 17:00 (BrasÃlia time). Leeds is already preparing for the duel against Aston Villa, on the same date, for the English Championship.
