Leeds United suffer narrow friendly defeat in Austria

Leeds United have been beaten 2-1 by Eintracht Frankfurt in a pre-season friendly between the sides in Austria.

The Bundesliga outfit were on top during the early stages and they almost took the lead on 10 minutes when Takashi Inui's dipping drive rattled the crossbar.

However, it was Leeds who went ahead with 26 minutes played as Steve Morison controlled Sam Byram's low cross from the right before firing in.

Frankfurt had a great chance to get themselves level with around 10 minutes left to play in the first half, but Liam Cooper was the hero for Leeds when he cleared off the line.

Both teams went on the attack at the start of the second period before Frankfurt eventually found the net on 59 minutes thanks to Johannes Flum's opportunistic close-range strike.

Frankfurt scored the winning goal with 15 minutes to go through Stefan Reinartz, who bundled the ball in after Leeds had failed to clear.
