- 5' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 10' Leyton Orient 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.
- 15' Paudie O'Connor is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Leyton Orient FC tonight.
- 19' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Recco Hackett-Fairchild on 19 minutes.
