Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Brisbane Road that hosts another battle between Leyton Orient FC and Birmingham City FC.
  • 5' 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.
  • 7' GOAL! Keshi Anderson scores on 7. Assisted by Alfie May
  • 12' 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.
  • 14' GOAL! Ethan Galbraith scores on 14. Assisted by Zech Obiero
  • 19' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 20' GOAL! Alfie May scores on 20.
  • 25' It looks surprising Leyton Orient FC does not make any changes. Alex Cochrane has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 30' Birmingham City FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 35' Emil Hansson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 40' Leyton Orient FC is showing some good football. However, Leyton Orient FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 45' 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.
  • 50' Leyton Orient FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 55' 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 Krystian Bielik suffering a number of foals already.
  • 60' 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.
  • 65' It’s high time Chris Davies made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 70' Supporters expect more eagerness from Charlie Kelman, as he is very good at scoring at Brisbane Road with 10 goals in the last 10 games.
  • 75' Leyton Orient FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 75.
  • 80' The travelling Birmingham City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 85' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 90' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-2.
