Month: August 2026

Still in August and just over a month since the World Cup Final and the premiership is back. 

Hoping that’s Leeds have a better season and are in the mid table region.  

MOT. 

Nottingham Forest 0 – 1 Leeds United – HT 0-0 

                                           A. Stach (88′) 

The City Ground Attendance: 30,739 

Oliver Glasner’s reign at Nottingham Forest began with a late defeat at the hands of visiting Leeds United in their Premier League opener. 

 The Austrian became Forest’s fifth manager in less than a year after replacing Vitor Pereira, who was sacked last month despite steering the club away from relegation danger. 

 Glasner and Forest, however, suffered a late blow as Anton Stach struck the Leeds winner straight from a free-kick with two minutes left on the clock. 

 It was an evenly contested game at the City Ground, where most of the opportunities for both sides came via set-pieces. 

 As the half-hour mark approached, Harry Wilson almost made his Leeds debut one to remember as he arrived in the box to side-foot Jayden Bogle‘s low delivery into the net, only for the goal to be ruled out for offside. 

 However, it was the home side who finished the first half strongly with centre-back Jair Cunha heading against the post after a scramble inside the Leeds box. 

 Igor Jesus also headed wide after attacking a cross from Ola Aina 10 minutes after the restart, while a powerful Tarik Muharemovic header in the 70th minute was the first time Leeds really made Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels work. 

 However, Leeds finally found a way through in the closing stages as Stach earned a foul from Nikola Milenkovic and beat Sels at the near post to help the visitors make a winning start. 

 Great start for Leeds, bagging three points away from home which are so important I feel for us, with our fortress at home, these are so important points. 

Marching on together.  

League position 6th after 1 game.
