Leeds United ended their pre-season tour of Australia with a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace at the Suncorp Stadium. Rodrigo's second-half penalty was cancelled out by Jean Phillipe Mateta in a feisty affair that saw several bookings and some heavy challenges.
New signing Luis Sinisterra made his first start in a Leeds shirt but lasted just 11 minutes, going off holding his hamstring and falling under minimal contact. Adam Forshaw also left the pitch on the half hour and went straight down the tunnel.
Jesse Marsch's side built up well from the back but lacked penetration and precision in the final third, with Patrick Bamford cutting a frustrated figure in the first 45 minutes. Rodrigo slotted home a penalty but Marsch's aggressive pressing was exposed slightly when Jordan Ayew ran through on goal to set up Mateta for the equaliser.
