In the first half, Leeds scored three goals against the visitors. Ilian Gruev opened the scoring, followed by goals from Joel Piroe and Georginio Rutter. After the break, Leeds' top scorer, Crysencio Summerville, sealed the fate of their opponents.

Leeds' opponent in the final, which will take place at Wembley, will be determined in the match between Southampton and West Bromwich Albion. Their first game also ended in a 0-0 draw.

It is worth noting that Leeds were relegated from the Premier League at the end of the previous season.
