Leeds United, Sheffield Wednesday share the points

Leeds United draw 1-1 to Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship.

Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday have drawn 1-1 in today's early Championship kickoff.

Marco Matias looked bright for Sheffield Wednesday in the opening stages but failed to test Marco Silvestri with two attempts.

New Leeds signing Stuart Dallas nearly hit the back of the net from long range after 10 minutes, but his shot flew just over the crossbar.

Mirco Antenucci came close to breaking the deadlock in the 25th minute when he fired a left-footed volley wide of the target.

It was a midfield battle throughout the first half, but Marco Matias brought the game to life in the 37th minute when he flicked the ball over Liam Cooper's head before volleying over Silvestri into the back of the net.

Leeds had a chance within the first minute of the second half but Sol Bamba headed straight at Lewis Price from a corner.

The scores were levelled on the hour mark when Chris Wood tapped in from two yards after a Stuart Dallas cross.

Liam Palmer then tested Silvestri at the other end with a header after linking up with Kieran Lee.

Wood then had another chance to score a minute later, but his header went just past the top right corner.

With 13 minutes remaining, Antenucci's shot was directed towards goal but Lee blocked it.

In the 89th minute, Wood's long-range shot was deflected over for a corner but Leeds were unable to threaten from the ball in.
