Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Leyton Orient FC and Cambridge United FC has kicked off!
  • 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' It looks surprising Leyton Orient FC does not make any changes. Jordan Cousins has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cambridge United FC that had 191 games and scored 193 goals.
  • 20' 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 Charlie Kelman suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' 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.
  • 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Taylor Richards made 436 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 32' What a strike from Oliver O'Neill! The score is 1-0.
  • 32' A meaty challenge results in booking for Elias Kachunga on 32.
  • 36' Another change for Cambridge United FC made on 36 minute. Sullay Kaikai leaves to be changed by James Brophy.
  • 41' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 46' Jordan Brown is having his name booked by the referee on 46.
  • 51' Supporters expect more eagerness from Dan N'Lundulu, as he is very good at scoring at Brisbane Road with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 56' Josh Keeley needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 59' The supporters are chanting for Darren Pratley. He replaces Dominic Ball on 59 minute.
  • 64' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 69' Leyton Orient FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 69.
  • 70' Goal! Jamie Donley scores his 8 goal in 385 matches.
  • 75' Cambridge United FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 75.

  • 78' The supporters are chanting for Ryan Loft. He replaces Danny Andrew on 78 minute.

  • 85' Another change for Cambridge United FC made on 85 minute. Jordan Cousins leaves to be changed by Taylor Richards.
  • 90' That looks like a foul for a card for Josh Keeley.
