- 17' 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.
- 22' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Leyton Orient FC winning 100% of all matches.
- 27' Wigan Athletic FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Leyton Orient FC backline.

- 34' Leyton Orient FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 39' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Leyton Orient FC that had 164 games and scored 161 goals.
- 42' Poor challenge from Ethan Galbraith. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
- 45' Robert Hunt gets the nod from Leyton Orient FC. He replaces Oliver O'Neill and will look to change the dynamic.
- 46' Leyton Orient FC make a change. Max Sanders trudges off to be replaced by Jordan Brown on 46 minutes.
- 51' It looks like no one’s ball. Wigan Athletic FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

- 59' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Charlie Goode on 59 minutes.
- 64' A change in the Wigan Athletic FC ranks — Scott Smith exits the field as Martial Godo enters on 64.
- 69' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 73' Magnificent from Jason Kerr! That is 12 goals in 264 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 78' It looks surprising Leyton Orient FC does not make any changes. Luke Chambers has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 82' Omar Beckles makes way for Daniel Adu-Adjei at the 82 minute mark. A tactical switch from Leyton Orient FC.
- 87' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Thelo Aasgaard made 395 appearances and scored 36 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Wigan Athletic FC players.
