    Time:90'
    • Leeds United
    • Millwall
    • 90+5' Leeds have their first win of the season! A deserved victory as they come from a goal down to win 3-1.
    • 90+4' GOAL!!! Somma has two goals on his league debut!! Carter loses it on the edge of the area and Leeds break with pace - Howson delivers from the right and Somma converts.
    • 90+2' Four minutes of added time to be played.
    • 90+1' Leeds: Andy Hughes replaces Lloyd Sam.
    • 90' Alan Dunne gives the ball away to Somma but makes a decent recovery to come back and block the shot.
    • 89' After those two scares, Leeds are now making a better fist of closing out the game.
    • 87' A slight stoppage for injury - this should ensure a decent amount of added time at the end of the 90.
    • 85' Yet another chance for Sam, who heads against the woodwork when he looks odds-on to put the result beyond doubt!
    • 83' Howson wins the ball and starts a counter-attack... he crosses for Becchio who heads down for WATT!! It's wide!
    • 81' Last-ditch stuff from Richard Naylor who heads off the line when Millwall look certain to equalise!
    • 80' Millwall come flying back at Leeds, and Schmeichel makes a good save from Liam Trotter!
    • 78' GOAL!! LEEDS IN FRONT!! The Davide Somma fires Leeds ahead, and Millwall can have few complaints. Their statuesque defending allows the substitute to finish from Watt's assist.
    • 74' Watt brings the ball down but the on-loan Arsenal man is penalised for a handball.
    • 70' Chance for Becchio, but he shoots straight at Forde! There's definitely another goal in this.
    • 67' Leeds have lost some of the attacking impetus they had before the break and Millwall arguably look like the better side here.
    • 62' Ward delivers a cross from the right for Carter, who fires harmlessly over! Chance for Millwall there.
    • 55' Darren Carter replaces Kevin Lisbie for Millwall.
    • 54' Millwall come away on the break and Danny Schofield appears to be brought down by Connolly on the edge of the Leeds box - but referee Colin Webster says no foul!
    • 50' Bradley Johnson is well forward down the left, and wins a free-kick off Henry - promising position. Kilkenny delivers it, but the ball floats over everybody and bounces out for a goal-kick.
    • 49' A Forde fumble gifts Leeds a corner but Millwall scramble it away.
    • 46' Off we go again at Elland Road and we are soon back into a familiar theme as Collins releases Becchio down the left channel for Leeds.
    • 45+1' One-all at half-time, but Leeds feel they should be in front.
    • 45' James Henry swings a free-kick into the Leeds box and Schmeichel punches clear.
    • 44' Kenny Jackett has the look of a slightly desperate man. He needs to get his men in for a breather...
    • 41' Off the crossbar! Neill Collins rattles the woodwork and somehow Millwall survive again! A real siege here!
    • 39' So close again! Forde races out to make a save but is out of his ground and scrambles back to claw away Howson's follow-up shot.
    • 37' Leeds build another fine move, but Sanchez Watt cannot convert, hitting a weak shot.
    • 35' Leeds continue to make all the running, and you feel the visitors will be happy to get into the break still on level terms.
    • 31' GOAL!! LEEDS ON LEVEL TERMS!! Watt shapes to shoot but uses it as a disguise to play it inside and Lloyd Sam finishes! No chance Forde, it's one apiece.
    • 27' Bradley Johnson takes a free-kick for Leeds but bashes it into the wall.
    • 26' Millwall survive again! Sanchez Watt comes through one on one with Forde, takes it round the keeper but Darren Ward races back to clear off the line!
    • 25' OFF THE POST!! Millwall are sliced open as Jonny Howson collects Sanchez Watt's pass, takes a touch and rolls it on to the woodwork! A massive chance for Leeds but Millwall survive!
    • 22' Becchio blazes over! The Argentine gets underneath the ball and squanders Leeds's best chance of the game so far!
    • 19' Panic stations for Millwall as the ball bounces around inside the box but it will not fall for Sam or Becchio and the visitors clear.
    • 15' GOAL!! Millwall in front against the run of play! Crossed into the Leeds box, Kevin Lisbie jumps with Richard Naylor and the Leeds skipper heads the ball into his own net!
    • 9' Millwall find themselves under pressure early on at Elland Road, with crosses being pelted into the box. They finally get a breather when Luciano Becchio strays offside.
    • 6' Watt has another go, this time firing over. Leeds have made the better start here.
    • 5' Slow start to the game. Sanchez Watt has a shot blocked away for a corner, which is cleared by Steve Morison.
    • 1' We're under way at Elland Road - feisty atmosphere for a Saturday lunchtime, but it always is when these two sides meet.
