Kris Klaesson: Produced a fine save to stop Jay O’Shea in the second half. 7
Adam Forshaw: A classy performance from the skipper for the night. He pulled the strings in the middle of the park and took the opportunity with both hands. 8
Robin Koch: Looked safe at the back and was forced into action a couple of times to save his side. 7
Brenden Aaronson: Looked lively at times but struggled to find the opportunity to make a lasting impact. 6

Marc Roca: Got about well, made his presence felt with some stern tackling and moved the ball with precision. 7
Rodrigo: Lively in the opening 15 minutes or so but his influence seemed to wane as the first half wore on. 7
Dan James: Only got 30 minutes on the field but certainly made an impact. He bagged Leeds’ first with a fine finish and set up Joe Gelhardt for the second. 8
Pascal Struijk: Picked up plenty of minutes but got caught out a couple of times. 6
Jack Harrison: Produced a couple of impressive moments in attack but never really looked comfortable in a defensive position. 6
Rasmus Kristensen: Got up and down the line well and certainly didn’t do anything wrong on his first appearance in a Leeds shirt. 7
Joe Gelhardt: Took his first goal very well and came close to scoring another in the second half with an effort that curled just wide. 8
Subs
Patrick Bamford: Got half an hour at the end of the game but never made too much of a difference. Had a chance close to the end. 6
Tyler Adams: Struggled to make an impact in possession when he came off the bench. Got about defensively and was replaced by Gray with 10 minutes to go. 6
Diego Llorente: Came close to scoring at the back post but wasn’t on long enough to make a huge difference. 6
Darko Gyabi: Had a few moments that caught the eye, but couldn’t produce a much-needed spark in the second half. 6
Luis Sinisterra: Emerged in the 30th minute but never really got himself into the contest. 5
Leif Davis: Came on at half-time and produced a few tidy moments. He got forward at every opportunity and created trouble. 7
Cody Drameh: The full-back did well to keep his man quiet and was one of the better players to come off the bench. 7
Crysencio Summerville: Posed a threat on a couple of occasions, but couldn’t find the space to hurt Brisbane. 6
Sam Greenwood: Did well at times and looking to make things happen in a jaded second half performance. 6
Mateusz Klich: Found carving out opportunities difficult but always looked to create and went looking for the ball. 7
Archie Gray: Got the biggest cheer of the night when he came on with 10 minutes remaining and instantly showed his class with some neat footwork. 7
