Wrexham continued their impressive preseason by beating another Premier League side, edging Leeds United 3-2 in Tampa, Florida, on Saturday after Sam Smith's late winner. Phil Parkinson's side, who defeated Manchester United in Helsinki last week, struck after just 32 seconds when new signing Kieffer Moore curled home before Leeds had even touched the ball.

Joël Piroe equalised midway through the first half with an improvised backheel finish, but Wrexham restored their lead when Bailey Cadamarteri raced clear from halfway and calmly slotted past the goalkeeper for his first goal for the club. Leeds responded again before halftime through Sean Longstaff, who capped an impressive first-half display by firing into the top corner to send the sides into the break level at 2-2.

The second half produced fewer chances as Leeds controlled more possession, but Wrexham remained dangerous on the counterattack and defended resolutely in difficult, humid conditions at Raymond James Stadium. The decisive moment came late on when Davis Keillor-Dunn released Smith, who surged clear before coolly finishing to secure a second successive preseason victory over Premier League opposition.

"It's only preseason, but to beat a Premier League team is a feather in our cap and we'll take it," Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson said afterwards. Wrexham continue their U.S. tour against Liverpool at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday, while Leeds remain in the United States to face Sunderland in New Jersey on Friday.
