Match Report

TTA report

Thistle were fitter and more robust but Leeds (with 5 Anglo-Scots) looked slicker. Johnston hooked a Kenny pass home (42) but Leeds had more chances after the break and McNab had to look lively several times. Johnston shot narrowly past but scored again with a drive from 18 yards the keeper couldn't hold (68).
