Hide AdAjayi, being used in a defensive midifeld role, was allowed to roam forward from distance and following a smart passing move, he blasted an unstoppable strike into the top corner from 25 yards out.
Rotherham were stung when Leeds levelled against the run of play on 51 minutes with Klich prodding the ball over the line after indecisive defending from the home side.
There looked to have been a handball from the Polish midfielder before the goal but referee Tim Robinson was happy to award it.
Leeds were clearly energised by the goal and began to carve out more opportunities but without really testing Marek Rodak.
