- 6' The Northern Ireland Jamie Donley breaks the deadlock on 6 minutes. 0-1!
- 11' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Barnsley FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 16' Both keepers have barely been tested. Barnsley FC and Leyton Orient FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 20' Jack Currie has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 20.
- 25' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 28' The Grenada Omar Beckles breaks the deadlock on 28 minutes. 0-2!
- 33' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 36' Matthew Craig makes way for Kyran Lofthouse at the 36 minute mark. A tactical switch from Barnsley FC.
- 41' Davis Keillor-Dunn has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 3 cards already picked up this season.
- 46' Barnsley FC is showing some good football. However, Barnsley FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 51' Against the run of play, Charlie Kelman has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 56' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Leyton Orient FC that had 150 games and scored 138 goals.

- 65' Leyton Orient FC have won 138 goals from 150 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.

- 75' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jack Currie suffering a number of foals already.
- 80' Barnsley FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Leyton Orient FC backline.
- 81' Barnsley FC ring the changes. Stephen Humphrys has done his job and it is now time for Sam Cosgrove to step up.
