Kemar Roofe was on the scoresheet as Leeds notched first win.
Leeds United’s first pre-season friendly went according to plan, with the Whites recording a 2-1 victory.
Kemar Roofe and Luke Ayling were on the scoresheet for Leeds, with Forest Green Rovers pulling a goal back before half-time.
There was little rotation with new manager Marcelo Bielsa keeping many of his players on the pitch for the full 90 minutes after a fortnight of intense training sessions.
Goalscorer Kemar Roofe was pleased with how the game went, and sent a message on Instagram afterwards.
Roofe finished last season as Leeds’ top goalscorer and a lack of strikers signed so far could put him in for a prominent role.
January striker signing Tyler Roberts was not involved, having begun training a week late.
Leeds’ next friendly fixture is away against against York City on Thursday evening.
