Leyton Orient v Rotherham Match Report

Leyton Orient secured a crucial 1-0 win over Rotherham at Brisbane Road, with a second-half header from Dan Happe making the difference. Both teams entered the game with contrasting styles: Orient sought control through possession, while Rotherham aimed to disrupt with a more direct approach.

After a goalless first half, the deadlock was finally broken in the 68th minute when Happe rose highest to nod in a cross from Theo James, giving Orient the lead. Rotherham pushed for an equalizer but were unable to break down Orient’s organized defence, securing the home side’s first win in several matches.

Key Moments

  • 59' Substitution (Rotherham): Cohen Bramall came on for Lee Kelly, adding pace to the visitors’ left side.
  • 68' Goal (1-0 Leyton Orient): Dan Happe scored with a powerful header from Theo James' delivery to put the hosts ahead.
  • 85' Substitution (Rotherham): Jordan Hugill replaced Christ Tiehi as Rotherham searched for a late equalizer.
  • 90+3' Substitution (Leyton Orient): Jayden Sweeney came on for Daniel Agyei to help solidify Orient’s defence in the final minutes.
