- Published
Leeds United lost 3-2 in their pre-season opener to Wrexham at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
The Championship outfit opened the scoring inside the first minute when Wales international Kieffer Moore curled his effort into the far corner.
Joel Piroe responded just after the hydration break with a classy back heel into the back of the net and Wilfried Gnonto had his attempt saved by goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo.
Wrexham thought they would be going into half-time leading after Bailey Cadamarteri broke through United's defence on the halfway line and found the bottom corner, but Leeds leveled for a second time just before the whistle.
This time is was Sean Longstaff that found the top corner after an impressive first-half display.
The second-half was much quieter in comparison and more comfortable for Leeds.
But it was Wrexham who again went ahead as substitute Sam Smith found the bottom corner, moments from time.
Leeds searched for an equaliser until the final whistle, with new signing Harry Wilson coming the closest as he curled an effort from inside the box over the bar.
Daniel Farke's men continue their US tour against Sunderland in New Jersey on Friday, 31 July.
