The Leeds United development squad went down to a 3-1 defeat at Welsh champions TNS.

The Welsh side played their first team, naming the same side that had been beaten by Swedish champions Helsingborgs in their champions League qualifier just days earlier. At half-time Leeds replaced goalkeeper Paul Rachubka with Alex Cairns and brought on Fifteen year-old Lewis Cook for Sanchez Payne. United had trailed by a single goal but the youngster equalized for United on the hour. Luke Parkin took over from Jason Dodds and Lewis Walters replaced Jayden Jackson before the game was restarted after the equalizer. Fifteen minutes later Chris Dawson replaced Charlie Clamp but TNS scored twice in the final third of the game to run out winners against a side that finished with nine players eighteen year old or younger. The TNS substitutes were Goalkeeper George Deniz, defenders Steve Evans, Connell Rawlinson and Aaron Simms, Midfielders Scott Ruscoe and Tom Allen and forwards Alex Darlington and Scott Quigley
