Leeds surprises the Wolves and gets the win at the start of the Premier League – Marca México

Leeds started the season on the right foot in the Premier League. Jesse Marsch’s side stunned Wolverhampton to win 2-1 at Ellan Road on Saturday. An own goal from Ait Nouri ended up condemning the visit in the second half. In what was an attractive compromise, both teams provided great emotions. But it was Leeds who found their luck in the second half to keep the three points. The locals must have come from behind during the match. At 6 minutes, it seemed that the game was going to Wolves. After a great collective play, Podence appeared in the area to open the scoring. However, Marsch’s men began to settle better inside the field and bothered the visitors’ exit to create approaches. The reward came for the 24′, when in a bad possession by Wolverhampton, ‘The Peacocks’ stole the ball and with a pass from Jack Harrison, Rodrigo defined the goalkeeper’s post. Despite the tie, curiously, Bruno Lage’s men took over from the middle of the field. The closing of the first half had provided a better image for the visit. The tone of the match remained for Wolverhampton. With control of the ball and some fired up Neto and Podence, it seemed that the goal was about to fall. Just a few sparks were the response of Leeds and soon Marsch must have bet on Klich’s entry. The Wolves had improved throughout the second half, but the lack of finishing in this match could not be on their side. And it was in a lethal counterattack, that Bamford threw a diagonal that liquidated the match. At the end of the pass, Nouri and Aaaronson arrived. Although the American ended up celebrating after 74 minutes, it was soon confirmed that an own goal had made the difference in the game. The visit tried to balance the scales. But the bolt did not end up opening on the Leeds goalkeeper. In the end, Marsch’s men kept the three points and Wolverhampton added Ral Jimnez, who continues to recover from a knee injury.
