First Half:
- Barnsley get the action underway in E10.
11) Goal! The visitors take the lead. A corner was swung in towards the box on top of the Orient keeper Josh Keeley couldn’t deal with it and Stepehn Humphreys found the back of the net from close range 0-1.
18) Goal! The visitors extend their lead very controversially. With not one but two big offside calls that the Orient bench were incensed about. A defence splitting header from Marc Roberts picked out Humphreys, who was free in the box and able to slot home unmarked from close range. 0-2
20) Orient boss Richie Wellens is booked by the referee.
27) Agyei forces Flavell to make a smart save down to the bottom left with his foot. The first real chance the Os have created in the game.
30) Marc Roberts is the first player in the referee’s book.
35) Adam Phillips also enters the book for the visitors.
39) Johnathan Bland is the next Tykes player to enter the referee’s book.
44) The Os break away through a quick counter attack when Jamie Donley won an aerial duel on the halfway line which saw Charlie Kleman through on goal, the angle narrowed for the League’s top scorer and he can only find the post. An agonising chance squandered for the home side.
Half Time – Leyton Orient 0 Barnsley 2
Second Half:
45) The Os kicked off the second half shooting towards the South Stand.
45) Orient substitution, Sean Clare replaces Darren Pratley.
52) Goal! Ethan Galbraith weaves his way towards the edge of the box, his low driven effort sneaks its way into the bottom corner from a tight angle 1-2.
55) The Os have really stepped up their efforts and are applying a lot of pressure on the away side.
63) Randell Williams is the first Orient player to enter the book.
64) Goal! A long ball from keeper Flavell caused Omar Beckles all kinds of problems when the ball bounced beyond the defender, Kellior-Dunn burst into the Orient box and hammered past Keeley with a sublime finish. 1-3
68) Goal! Donley slots a lovely defence splitting pass across the six yard box and there was Kelman who slid in to tap home from close range. 2-3.
71) Barnsley Substitution, Off Humphreys – On Dexter Lembikisa
72) Goal! Donley played through Kleman out wide on the left, the forward clocks the late run of Sean Clare who managed to slide and just get enough contact on the ball to guide it into the back of the net. 3-3
74) GOAL! Jordan Brown swung in a corner which caused issues for the Barnsley defenders who were only able to clear the ball into the path of Omar Beckles. The Orient captain was able to turn and shoot with the ball evading a crowded penalty area to find the back of the net. The comeback was complete. An extraordinary six minutes. 4-3!
75) Barnsley sub Off Fabio Jalo, On Barry Cotter
78) Orient sub, Off Agyei, On Markanday.
82) Barnsley double substitution, Off, Phillips and Bland, On, Josh Benson and Corey O’keeffe
