Half-Time Report: Ipswich Town, Leeds United are level at the break

Ipswich, Leeds level at the break

Ipswich Town and Leeds United are level at half time in this afternoon's Championship encounter.

Both sides had chances throughout the half and go in 1-1 at the break after an entertaining 45 minutes.

Ipswich started brightly with Aaron Cresswell seeing his shot well saved, before Jay Tabb had the ball in the net only for the assistant referee's flag to deny him.

They took the lead on 12 minutes after Leeds failed to deal with a long ball. David McGoldrick picked it up on the edge of the box and fired in off the post from 20 yards out.

There were chances at either end after that, with Cresswell hitting the crossbar with a curling effort before the visitors got themselves back on level terms. Ross McCormack broke forward and saw his scuffed shot collected by Luke Varney, who reacted quickly and finished well.

The tempo of the game slowed after that as both sides seemed happy to go in level at the break.
