Nottingham Forest vs Leeds United

Nottingham Forest's opening-day optimism evaporated in stoppage time as a stunning late free-kick handed Leeds United a 1-0 win at the City Ground. Oliver Glasner's first game in the Forest dugout looked set for a point, with the hosts having the better of possession but no cutting edge. Nikola Milenković had rattled the crossbar for Forest in the first half, but the visitors found the breakthrough late on. In the 88th minute, Anton Stach curled a free-kick beyond goalkeeper Matz Sels and in off the near post, sparking wild celebrations among the away fans. Bookings for Ola Aina, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Jair Cunha were the only other blemishes on an otherwise clean contest. It's a sour start to the Glasner era at Forest, who will feel they did enough for at least a point. For Leeds, though, it's the perfect way to open Daniel Farke's second season in the top flight — a hard-fought away win to settle any early nerves.
