1’: We’re off!
10’: Chance for Evanilson but his scissor kick goes wide across face of goal
25’: Eli Junior Kroupi with a really ugly tackle on Ampadu, dumb, nowhere near necessary, it was outside the Leeds box of all things
32’: Truffert with a rare shot on target in this game but it’s right at Darlow for an easy save. Leeds doing nothing offensively so far, but shutting down Bournemouth very well
37’: Aaronson makes some space inside the box and shoots but Petrović is down in time to save it.
41’: Álex Jiménez commits a foul right on the edge of the box, dangerously close to a penalty
42’: Ao Tanaka takes one of the worst free kicks I can remember.
43’: What a save!! Darlow somehow denies Tavernier with a shot that must go in, kept it out with his trailing leg
HT Bournemouth 0-0 Leeds United Started out very slow, some excitement started to happen at the end but no goals yet
46’: Leeds substitution: Joe Rodon on for Jayden Bogle
46’: We’re back!
51’: Bournemouth demanding a penalty kick after Brooks goes down, but the ref and VAR deem contact too soft to call
55’: Kroupi gets a glancing touch right in front of goal but not enough to take it away from Darlow, also probably offside
60’: GOAL BOURNEMOUTH!! A pass from Senesi springs Eli Junior Kroupi behind the backline and he beats the keeper one-on-one!
63’: Oh my goodness! Leeds nearly equalize immediately, Okafor nicks the ball off the defense, chips it over the keeper, but it dinks off the far post!!
64’: Leeds double sub: Wilfried Gnonto and Lukas Nmecha on for Jaka Bijol and Noah Okafor
65’: Jiménez goes down in the box under pressure for Gudmundsson, again the ref says it’s too soft for a penalty
66’: Nmecha tries a turning shot from inside the box but puts it high.
67’: Bournemouth substitution: Rayan on for David Brooks
68’: GOAL LEEDS!! A long throw in the box, there’s chaos in the box, a cross comes in from Gnonto and deflects off the heel of James Hill for an own goal!
73’: Bournemouth double sub: Tyler Adams and Amine Adli on for Eli Junior Kroupi and Ryan Christie
75’: SAVE! Rayan’s shot denied at the near post by Darlow, Scott tries to get the rebound but Tanaka makes an excellent clearance
77’: Frenetic Bournemouth passing gets a chance to Scott but he doesn’t have the power or placement, right at Darlow.
81’: SAVE! Evanilson looks in on goal but Darlow makes a perfect tackle to take it away from him.
84’: Leeds substitution: Sean Longstaff on for Brenden Aaronson
86’: GOAL BOURNEMOUTH!! A great cross by Adams put in at the back post by Rayan!!
88’: A great header by Senesi but it only hits the bar!
89’: Leeds substitution: Joël Piroe on for Ao Tanaka
90’: Bournemouth substitution: Alex Tóth on for Marcus Tavernier
90+1’: Goal Bournemouth! Senesi finds Evanilson who muscles past his defender and hits the net! Except… no, VAR says offside! By the tiniest margin!
90+3’: Nmecha should win it here but he puts it just wide! What an acrobatic shot but it only clips the outside of the post!
90+5’: Evanilson booked for a “petulant” challenge
90+7’: GOAL LEEDS!! Off the long throw again, Bournemouth deflect it up in the air and Sean Longstaff hits an epic volley into the net!
FT Bournemouth 2-2 Leeds United What an exciting second half! And a controversial ending sees it tied at the end and a vital point for Leeds
