Full Time Leeds United 2 Brentford 1
The hosts score twice in the final 11 minutes against a tiring Brentford to secure the three points. Courtney Senior had put The Bees in front but those two late goals condemned Lee Carsley's side to a first defeat in six.
88 - Audrius Laucys comes on to replace Daniel O'Shaughnessy meaning that there are now eight Under-18s on the pitch for The Bees.
87 - Senior has two bites of the cherry from 12 yards as his first effort is blocked and then he drags his second effort wide of the near post.
85 Leeds United 2 Brentford 1
Again its a great set piece delivery that undoes The Bees as Tavares ball to the near post is met by Luke Parkin and he guides the ball past Smith.
82 - Del Fabro has one and he really really should have a second as a deep Dawson ball finds him all alone eight yards out but he glances his header wide of Smith's goal.
80 - Lee Carsley responds to conceding the equaliser by bringing Zain Westbrooke on for Jack Warburton.
79 Leeds United 1 Brentford 1
Josh Clarke barges Phillips over right on the edge of the box and Tavares whips a delicious free-kick in that Del Fabro gets enough of a touch on to find the far corner from close range.
77 - A nice passing move by United invites Tyler Denton forward from left-back but he half-volleys straight at Smith from 12 yards.
75 - The hosts continue to press but aren't getting much change out of the Brentford defence and Daniel O'Shaughnessy in particular. The more Leeds press the more space that Alves, Clayton and Senior look to exploit on the break.
70 - Tonight's crowd is probably around 500 and it is fair to say that, a lot like the Championship game here earlier this year, not many of them are agreeing with the referee's decisions at the moment. The man in the middle turns down a couple of handball shouts against The Bees before giving Lee Carsley's side a free-kick as Walters goes through the back of Senior.
66 - The game has become very stretched all of a sudden, Senior bursts down the right and his cross is missed by Alves but Udumaga lines up a shot from 12 yards that a Leeds defender managed to get a vital block in on.
65 - Leeds are close to an instant response as Coyle turns inside Tom Field and hits a left-footed shot from 25 yards that kisses the outside of the far post as it goes behind.
62 Leeds United 0 Brentford 1
It has been all Leeds in this half so far but Brentford take the lead with their first real attack. Clayton and Rodrigues Alves are given space to combine on the edge of the box and the latter bundles his way through before Senior fires home from 10 yards.
56 - The Bees are really under the cosh here and Smith is called into action to make a great block save - Dawson slides through Montenegro and Smith is out in a flash to block as the striker looks to dink over him.
55 - A deep corner is whipped in by the hosts and Del Fabro heads straight into arms of Smith.
54 - Lee Carsley looks to freshen things up by bringing Under-18 Herson Rodrigues Alves on for Aaron Greene. The Bees now have six Under-18s on the pitch.
52 - Tom Field heads away at the back post and it drops to Phillips on the edge of the box but he shoots straight at Smith from 18 yards.
51 - Leeds have started the second-half well on the front foot. It looks like three matches in seven days may be starting to catch up with a few of the Brentford players.
We are back underway here at Elland Road, no changes for either side at half-time.
Half-Time Leeds United 0 Brentford 0
Both sides have had chances to go in ahead but it is the hosts who will feel they should be in front. Walters has hit the bar with Montenegro being denied superbly on the rebound by Smith while at the other end Udumaga has sent a couple of efforts narrowly wide. Join us again shortly for the second-half.
40 - It's a fairly event contest here at the moment but the hosts are creating the better openings. Phillips whips a shot just over the angle of post and bar from 18 yards with Smith well beaten.
31 - Brentford are playing a dangerous game at times here as they push right up, leaving a lot of space in behind. Leeds look happy to play on the break and try and get in behind the Brentford back-line which, at the moment, is holding out.
27 - Leeds are creating some good chances but Smith and the Brentford defence are doing just about enough to repel them. Montenegro gets in behind but Smith saves with his feet, the ball rebounds straight to him but Gradi Milenge throws himself in front of the shot to block away.
26 - The Bees rather overplay after a poor Cairns clearance gifts them possession high-up the pitch and Leeds clear before launching a slick counter-attack but Montenegro takes a very heavy touch and Smith is quickly out to gather at his feet.
24 - Lewie Coyle gifts Brentford a corner with a poor touch and Aaron Greene plays it to Udumaga 30 yards out but his curling effort doesn't quite come back enough to sneak in the corner.
20 - How this game is still 0-0 is a mystery. Smith makes a comfortable save to deny Kalvin Phillips but Leeds win the ball back quickly and Lewis Walters crashes a shot against the face of the bar from 18 yards, it comes back out to Bryan Montenegro, eight yards from goal, who has the whole goal to aim at but from nowhere Smith appears to make an incredible save right on the line. Leeds are convinced it is over the line but the linesman, who is much closer than we are, said no and while Leeds protest The Bees break and Alex Cairns makes a good low save to deny Udumaga from 18 yards.
15 - The game has calmed down a bit since the opening stages. Both sides are playing a 4-2-3-1 and it would be fair to say The Bees are probably seeing more of the ball in attacking areas at the moment.
6 - Jermaine Udumaga wastes a very presentable chance after Bradley Clayton belies the height difference to beat Dario Del Fabro in the air. Clayton squares for Udumaga but the Under-21s top scorer lashes over from 18 yards.
3 - It's the hosts turn to get some joy out wide but from a very similar position to where Clarke put his shot wide from Lewis Walters shoots wide of the near post.
1 - Brentford give away possession but win it back and Josh Clarke speeds forward from right-back but he elects to shoot when there were others in the middle - his shot flies well wide
The two teams are out on the Elland Road pitch with the hosts, backed by a very sizeable crowd for an Under-21s fixture all in white, and Brentford in yellow shirts and black shirts and socks.
The Bees will defend the away stand in the first-half and are about to get us underway.
Good evening and welcome to a chilly Elland Road as Brentford face Leeds United in the Under-21 Professional Development League Two South.
The Bees have made the five hour trip up to Leeds United looking for a seventh win in their last 10 matches.
A win tonight would put Lee Carsley's side just two points off the top-two and an end of season play-off place that looked a long shot a few months ago.
The hosts have play-off aspirations of their own, sitting fourth in the North division, two points behind second-placed Huddersfield Town.
The two sides for tonight's match are in and are as follows:
Leeds United DS: Alex Cairns; Lewie Coyle, Dario Del Fabro, Ross Killock, Tyler Denton; Alex Purver, Kalvin Phillips; Chris Dawson, Adryan Tavares, Lewis Walters; Bryan Montenegro
