Leeds United opened their Premier League campaign with a narrow 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest, thanks to a late free kick from Anton Stach. The goal, scored in the 88th minute, proved decisive as Forest’s goalkeeper Matz Sels struggled to make a save. The match, played at Forest’s home ground, marked the debut of manager Oliver Glasner, who saw his team suffer a 0-1 defeat.

Nottingham Forest’s defeat was a setback for Glasner, who had hoped for a strong start. The loss came just days after Leeds’ own struggles in the transfer window.
