That hope was shortlived as the corner is headed powerfully away by Leeds' Pontus Jansson...

Adam Hammill earns Barnsley their first corner of the game. Something for the home fans to shout about.

Here's the moment that a Leeds fan gave his cap to visiting goalkeeper Felix Wiedwald.

Proof, if it were needed, that football is a team game.

"Leeds have got the better players.

"I think they only have one player that I would want in the Leeds side.

"It's about matching them up for desire."

Is this game waking up? Samuel Saiz is at the heart of another Leeds attack but hits a shot over the angle of post and bar.

The Spaniard wants a corner - and replays suggest he should have got one.

Better from Barnsley, who piece together their first spell of sustained pressure on the half.

The Leeds defence stands firm, though, before Joe Williams hits a long-range effort well off target.

Leeds win a free-kick in a threatening position as Samuel Saiz is dumped to the floor.

Pablo Hernandez's free-kick flies straight into the wall, Barnsley break but a Leeds defender is in the right place at the right time to cut out Harvey Barnes' low cross.

Just before that goal, there was a lovely moment when a Leeds fan gave his cap to keeper Felix Wiedwald, who has the sun shining straight into his eyes.

I hope he remembers to give it back later!

Anyone fancy trying to play some football?

Neither side can keep the ball. Scrappy is an understatement.

Felix Wiedwald is back in goal for Leeds this afternoon and so far he could have had a deckchair out to make the most of the sunshine.

He has had nothing to do.

Neat approach play from Samuel Saiz and Ezgian Alioski sees Leeds threaten again.

Barnsley fail to clear their lines and Luke Ayling nips in and goes down in the box.

Ayling doesn't appeal for a penalty but Harvey Barnes isn't happy and squares up to the Leeds defender - earning both players a yellow card in the process.

Samuel Saiz and Pablo Hernandez combine down the left to earn Leeds a fourth corner.

Adam Davies punches it clear to the edge of the box where Ezgjan Alioski lets fly first time only to see his left-foot shot go wide. Better.

There's no lack of passion on the pitch or in the stands but there's precious little quality at the moment.

Scrappy stuff.

Things have just started to settle down after that early pressure from Leeds.

Barnsley have back-to-back attacking throw-ins down the right before the ball dribbles harmlessly behind for a goal kick.

That's the first of three successive corners for Leeds but Barnsley finally clear their lines and break through George Moncur.

He is cynically tripped by Pontus Jansson in midfield and the Leeds defender is shown an early yellow card by referee Andy Madley.

Breathless start.

Early sight of goal for Leeds. Ezgjan Alioski picks out young forward Caleb Ekuban in the box but his shot is blocked behind for a corner...

And we're under way at Oakell, with Leeds wearing all black... because of a clash of shorts.
