Derby v Leeds United: semi-final playoff match, first leg – live! | Soccer

14 min: A slight lull after a hectic start. Everyone deserves a break.

12 min: Leeds finally grows up in the match. Dallas, coming from the left, sends a curler at the top right. It's right above the bar. Roos had probably covered, if it had been framed, even if the shot pulled a little, so it would have needed a powerful hand.

11 min: Harrison center from the left and Malone concedes a useless corner, without any pressure. The result obtained has nothing to write. But a little better from Leeds, which has been quiet so far.

10 minutes: Derby pin Leeds back. Lawrence has a search from afar. It's blocked. Holmes has another attempt. This one is also blocked. Mount tries to configure Wilson with a padded head, but it is unobstructed. Derby started much better on both teams.

8 min: A beautiful fluid movement of Derby, climb to the center. Wilson then enters the right flank and makes a nice pbad in the channel for Nugent, whose shot is deflected for a corner. Nothing comes from all, but it is very promising for locals.

7 min: Bogle arrives on the right and pbades to Lawrence, who hits the first curler at the top right. It will always be wide and Casilla has made it out of the game calmly.

5 min: Wilson rips to the right and seems to have been reunited by Dallas, but nothing happens. Wilson gets angry, but the referee does not change his mind. We play

3 min: A free kick for Derby on the right. Mounted in the repair area. The ball slides over Tomori's head and Leeds manages to erase his lines.

2 min: Roofe makes a center in the Derby area on the right. Hernandez intends to face the falling ball, but he stopped just in time.

Were out! Leeds rolls the ball and keeps it for a moment. Just about. It's high speed scrapping at the very beginning.

The teams are outside! A rare old atmosphere at Pride Park. As Lampard and Bielsa get ready to shake hands, Sky switches to a bet or other ad. We see Lampard shaking everyone's hand in the Leeds canoe, so it's something. We will leave in a second!

Frank Lampard speaks! "It's a good team and we got cold early in the season. We did not play at Elland Road, we did not play our match. We must bring our personality to the party. These two games should be in the back of our mind, but we are now in a different place, so we can approach this game differently. "

Marcelo Bielsa speaks! "Every game is different, even if it's the same rival. The fact that we have won the last two matches does not indicate a specific trend for this match. "

Kit watching. Derby will be wearing his famous white shirts today. I hoped to be able to photograph them with this kit during the 1970s ceremony, but our retro Derby archives are not as complete as we would like. So they are here enjoying this draft with Leeds in 1975. In, er, in black and white. Imagine Leeds in yellow. Nevertheless, the official legend of the photo is quite beautiful.

Leeds will be forced to change color blue. It was his favorite color in the day, before Don Revie boldly renamed the club. Here's a picture of Leeds defenseman Jack Charlton wearing this blue shirt, although the impact is somewhat muted because it's in black and white. To be honest, this feature could have been much better, but here we are.

Play before game. Our man, Ben Fisher, talked to Fikayo Tomori, the Derby player of the season. Here are the fruits of this conversation. Click and enjoy!

Derby County boss Frank Lampard brings a unique change to the team he chose for the 3-1 win against West Bromwich Albion last week. David Nugent replaces injured Martyn Waghorn.

Marcelo Bielsa from Leeds United also makes a change, and that's forced as well. Gaetano Berardi replaces Pontus Jansson, injured. Otherwise, it is the XI selected for the 3-2 defeat at Ipswich Releg last week.

County Derby: Roos, Bogle, Tomori, Keogh, Malone, Mount, Johnson, Wilson, Holmes, Lawrence, Nugent.
Subs: Carson, Jozefzoon, Marriott, Evans, Bennett, MacDonald, Huddlestone.

Leeds United: Casilla, Ayling, Berardi, Cooper, Dallas, Phillips, Hernandez, Forshaw, Klich, Harrison, Roofe.
Submarines: Peabad-Farrell, Brown, Shackleton, Clarke, Struijk, Gotts, Bogusz.

Arbitrator: Craig Pawson (South Yorkshire).

Leeds against Derby, then. Wonderful.

And that without involving Brian Clough and Don Revie!

But the shenanigans of this season have also been good, Frank Lampard and Marcelo Bielsa fighting for Spygate, all that. Leeds beat Derby 4-1 on its own pitch in August and won 2-0 at Elland Road in January. But Derby has won four of his last six games, drawing the other two, while Leeds missed his chance of automatic promotion in style, scoring only one point over the last 12. This semi-final is therefore deliciously prepared. This could even go from the 70's style. It's on!

Start: 5:15 p.m..
