🚨 Anton Stach's Late Winner Ruins Oliver Glasner's Forest Debut

23 August 2026, 09:17
πŸ“ THE FULL PICTURE: Leeds walked into the City Ground and stole the show on opening day. Anton Stach, that weird and crazy genius, whipped in a late free-kick past Matz Sels at the near post, handing Oliver Glasner a brutal L in his first match as Forest boss. Stach's been doing this all season. Only Szoboszlai scored more direct free-kicks than him last year, and he even cracked one against Glasner's old Palace squad. Farke knew something special was coming. Forest had chances: Harry Wilson's debut goal got wiped offside, and Tarik Muharemovic's header nearly flew in. But Leeds looked sharper all day. Glasner's not panicking, calling it a typical first game after a long break. Still, Forest's fifth manager in under a year just watched his new dawn get eclipsed. πŸ’­ MY TAKE: Stach is becoming that guy. The burger stunt for charity, the laser-guided free-kicks, the absolute nerve to pull that in a new manager's debut. That's cold. Forest fans have every right to be worried. Glasner needs time, sure, but the cycle of hiring and firing doesn't stop. At least there's a quick rematch Tuesday. Leeds, though? They're looking like the real deal this season. Let's go.
