Greenacre (Taylor 81). Subs: Tremarco, Kay, - - Achterberg.

Att: 11,008 (2,004 Leeds)With the off-field drama firmly out of the way United finally opened up
the League One season looking to make up a 15-point deficit.Dennis Wise was able to make some late moves in the transfer market and
he handed debuts to Curtis Weston and Andrew Hughes, while Casper
Ankergren, signed in the week, and new skipper Alan Thompson also
returned to senior action with the club.Disaster struck for United on 21 minutes. Greenacre - - made no
mistake - - when he arrived at the back post to convert a cross from the
Tranmere left, much to the delight of an already fired-up home support.In reply, Beckford shot wide after some good build-up play, but the
Tranmere centre-backs stood firm as United looked for a route back
before the interval. United''''s best football so far came early in the second half when, after playing their way from one box to the other.Lee Mason awarded a free-kick on the edge of the box and Matt
Heath arrived with perfect timing to head home a superb Thompson
delivery. This was a set piece from the training ground.As the game entered its closing stages and United looked to force a
winner, Tranmere goalkeeper Danny Coyne saved a Kandol header at the
second attempt, following a good cross from Ian Westlake.
Eddie Lewis also delivered a good cross from the left, but Beckford was unable to get in a shot when well-placed in the box.
With three minutes remaining, Tranmere had an opportunity to steal
the points when Steve Davies sent a free-kick fizzing over the bar.
But it was United who scored a dramatic goal with - - less than 90
seconds remaining. Kandol was the man who got on the end of an Andrew
Hughes cross and bundled the ball home from close range.
The striker celebrated with a cartwheel, the away support went
ballistic, and the volume levels rose as the fourth official signalled
five minutes of added time.The last rites were played out to the sound of the Leeds fans chanting
"we''''re gonna win the league" as the climb to recover the 15 points
started in earnest.
