Stach late free-kick gives Leeds 1-0 win at Forest, ruins Glasner's debut

Anton Stach curled a late free-kick past Matz Sels to give Leeds United a 1-0 win at the City Ground on 22 August 2026, spoiling Oliver Glasner's first competitive match as Nottingham Forest head coach. Nikola Milenkovic's clumsy challenge on Stach conceded the foul; Sels got a glove to it but could not keep the ball out. Glasner is Forest's fifth head coach in under twelve months. The sides meet again in the Carabao Cup at Elland Road on Tuesday.
