Leeds midfielder Tanaka Aoi (27), who had been out of the game due to injury, was on the bench in an away match against Fulham.
He injured his right knee in the match against Arsenal on August 23rd, and missed the league cup match against Sheffield Wednesday on the 26th and the match against Newcastle on the 30th. The Japanese national team's US expedition also did not take part. Although they had no chance to play, the team conceded a goal in the final minutes and lost 0-1.
It was an unfortunate possession goal. In the 49th minute of the second half, when the ball was 0-0, the ball was played in a bid from a corner kick, and the ball hit the head of defender Guzmundsson and went straight into the goal. Coach Falke said, “Soccer is sometimes cruel. Sometimes we're blessed with good fortune, but today was definitely unlucky.”
Fulham's first league victory this season.
