After the break, the game continued in much the same fashion as the first half, Liverpool pressuring Leeds, who were being forced to defend deep to keep their slender advantage.
Wright saw his advances in the box blocked as he attempted to get a shot away, while a dangerous cross just evaded his reach with a header.
Substitute Figueroa – who replaced Wright – attempted to make an instant impact from the bench.
He first had an opening swiftly closed by the Leeds defence, before his guided header from a Morrison corner fell onto the roof of the net.
Trey Nyoni and Figueroa then combined with a clever one-two on the edge of the box to open up a chance for the former, but Ombang was equal to the shot to punch it away.
However, with 16 minutes remaining Liverpool produced the levelling goal their play deserved.
It was Figueroa who got himself on the scoresheet after gathering a bouncing ball in the area to turn and fire home into the back of the net via the post.
The attacker continued to be the Reds’ most consistent threat in the closing stages, directing a header wide from a Joe Bradshaw cross.
He also forced an instinctive save from Ombang as he turned a low driven cross towards goal with a first-time attempt.
In the final minute of added time, though, Liverpool were awarded a penalty for a handball via a deflected shot.
Morrison stepped up to take the kick and sent Ombang the wrong way to spark celebrations after what was the last action of the afternoon.
