Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday played out a goalless draw at Elland Road, with the struggling Owls securing their first point of the season. Despite dominating possession, Leeds were unable to find the back of the net and continue their winless streak at home. Xisco Munoz’s side, who had yet to pick up a point prior to the match, put in a strong defensive performance to frustrate their opponents and earn a valuable result. Wednesday’s traveling fans were elated with the outcome, as it marked their team’s first clean sheet under Munoz. Leeds, on the other hand, had a challenging week, with a high-scoring victory over Ipswich followed by a defeat to Salford City in the Carabao Cup and the departure of Luis Sinisterra to Bournemouth. Despite their dominance in the match, Leeds failed to capitalize on their chances, allowing Wednesday to grow in confidence as the game progressed. Both goalkeepers made impressive saves to keep the scoreline level. Leeds captain Luke Ayling and Jamie Shackleton came close to breaking the deadlock, but their efforts went just wide. Wednesday also had opportunities to score, with Josh Windass and Callum Paterson coming close, but neither side could find the back of the net. Leeds had a penalty appeal turned down when Wilfried Gnonto went down in the box, and a late chance for Ethan Ampadu was saved by Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Devis Vasquez. Despite late substitutions by Leeds manager Daniel Farke, including debuts for Djed Spence and Glen Kamara, Wednesday held on for the draw. For Munoz and his team, the result was a statement of their ability to compete at this level. The match ended with both sides earning a hard-fought point.
