Mikael Forssell got on the scoresheet as Leeds United beat Blackpool on Tuesday in a behind-closed-doors friendly at Thorp Arch.
Forssell struck after 13 minutes before Sanchez Payne added a second after half-time to give United a 2-0 victory against a strong Seasiders outfit.
Along with Finn, the senior experience in the United side was provided by goalkeeper Paul Rachubka and central defender Leigh Bromby. Charlie Taylor and Zac Thompson were also included in the Leeds starting XI.
The Blackpool side included Daniel Bogdanovic, Brett Ormerod, and a handful of players with senior experience.
But it was Leeds who started the brighter and went ahead with a great strike from Forssell after good work by Thompson and Payne.
The second period saw Blackpool enjoy more of the ball, but Rachubka made a number of great saves and Bromby was terrific in marshalling the back four.
And it was United who finished the game off on the hour mark when Joe McCann did well to break up play before feeding Payne, who drew the Blackpool goalkeeper and slid the ball home from 15 yards.
"It was another really good effort coming on the back of the win against Chelsea," said reserve team manager Neil Redfearn.
"We played at a good tempo in the first half, were excellent with the ball, got it into the strikers and got support forward.
"We defended well in the second, Leigh Bromby was outstanding, and Paul Rachubka made three or four very, very good saves.
"In the end, we saw it through and kept a clean sheet which was very pleasing."

Bit of a Yorkshire slant on that report but I'm strangely pleased for Rachbubka. Was it from the Yorks Eve Post or LUFC website then Sher?
