Anton Stach scored Leeds United’s only goal in their 1–0 win over Nottingham Forest in the 2026–27 Premier League opener.
The match at the City Ground was a tight contest, with Leeds securing all three points through Stach’s decisive strike. The midfielder’s set-piece quality proved the difference in a game with few clear chances.
Leeds kept a clean sheet, while Nottingham Forest failed to score at home. The result gave Daniel Farke’s team a winning start and left Forest without a point from their opening fixture.
Stach should not be confused with Leeds players involved in later attacking moves. The opening-weekend match had only one goal, and Stach was its scorer.
