- 0' KICK OFF: Cambridge United FC gets underway.
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jack Stevens made 366 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 19' Cambridge United FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Josh Stokes on 19.
- 24' It looks like no one’s ball. Leyton Orient FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 29' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 34' It’s high time Richie Wellens made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 39' 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 Danny Andrew suffering a number of foals already.
- 44' Randell Williams has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 48 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 49' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Leyton Orient FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 54' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 59' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 64' Time for substitution for Leyton Orient FC. Sean Clare is replaced by Azeem Abdulai.
- 67' GOAL! Charlie Kelman scores on 67. Assisted by Daniel Agyei
- 70' The referee shows Cambridge United FC player a card on 70.
- 75' It is a substitution in Cambridge United FC team. Danny Andrew is replaced by Liam Bennett on 75 minute.
- 78' Sensational shot from Jamie Donley. Leyton Orient FC is back in the lead.
- 81' The whistle greets Paul Digby as he departs to be replaced by Dominic Ballard.
- 83' Ryan Loft is having his name booked by the referee on 83.
- 85' Brandon Cooper has so much to prove this time. He replaces Charlie Kelman on 85 minute.
- 90' Oliver O'Neill is replacing Jack Currie for the Leyton Orient FC side.
