Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Reading FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' The 24-year-old Jack Currie has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 9' The referee shows Leyton Orient FC player a card on 9.
- 14' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Reading FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 19' Reading FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Leyton Orient FC backline.
- 24' 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 Zach Hemming suffering a number of foals already.
- 27' Charlie Kelman adds to his 1 season tally! Leyton Orient FC lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
- 32' Reading FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 37' 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.
- 42' The referee calls foul for Ethan Galbraith. He receives a card.
- 45' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Zach Hemming.
- 48' Leyton Orient FC player sees a card in front of him.
- 53' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 58' Reading 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.
- 62' A change in the Reading FC ranks — Chem Campbell exits the field as Adrian Akande enters on 62.
- 65' That is a card for Leyton Orient FC. Oliver O'Neill will be fuming at that decision.
- 67' Leyton Orient FC ring the changes. Daniel Agyei has done his job and it is now time for Sonny Perkins to step up.
- 70' A change in the Leyton Orient FC ranks — Daniel Happe exits the field as Jack Simpson enters on 70.
- 74' Fresh legs for Leyton Orient FC! Dominic Ball comes on to replace Jordan Brown.
- 75' Jordan Graham is ready to make an impact after coming on for Oliver O'Neill at the 75 minute mark.
- 80' Sean Clare has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 13 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 83' The supporters are chanting for Kelvin Abrefa. He replaces Michael Craig on 83 minute.
- 88' Time for substitution for Reading FC. Jeriel Dorsett is replaced by Andre Garcia.
- 90' That looks like a foul for a card for Dominic Ball.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Leyton Orient FC players.
