Events

Match Events

0' What a night it is going to be! Leyton Orient FC welcome Burton Albion FC for this crunch clash at Brisbane Road.
2' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Will Forrester makes it 1-0.
7' Burton Albion FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 7.
12' Both keepers have barely been tested. Leyton Orient FC and Burton Albion FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
17' 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 Azeem Abdulai suffering a number of foals already.
22' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
27' It’s high time Gary Bowyer made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
32' It is a cagey affair so far. Leyton Orient FC in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Burton Albion FC's compact 3-4-1-2.
34' Brilliant from the centre-forward! Fabio Tavares makes it 1-1 with a superb finish on 34.
39' Over 39 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
44' Leyton Orient FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
49' 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.
51' A goal from the England international Dominic Ballard! He fires home on 51 to make it 2-1!
54' Poor challenge from James Morris. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
55' A meaty challenge results in booking for George Evans on 55.
58' The England defender Alex Hartridge breaks the deadlock on 58 minutes. 2-2!
63' Sean Clare is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Leyton Orient FC so far.
68' The energy levels are beginning to show. Gary Bowyer might look to freshen things up shortly.
73' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
78' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
83' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Leyton Orient FC that had 157 games and scored 150 goals.
88' With 0 assists to his name this season, Udoka Malife is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Leyton Orient FC.
The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from to claim maximum points.
