Posh get us underway

Looks like Adu-Adjei and O'Neill up front for Orient, Moncur behind.

First Orient corner as Knight blocks a Sweeney shot after Collins gives the ball away on the edge of his box.

Orient with the better start, keeping hold of the ball, Posh being made to chase.

Orient send a brilliant long throw into the box, Ajiboye tries to clear but the ball squirms up and onto his hand, they want a penalty. The ref disagrees but a ropey start for Posh.

Kyprianou scores against his old club again!

Burrows sends in a good cross, Brynn gets there but inexplicably drops it right to the feet of Kyprianou for tap-in.

Still Orient looking a threat, some good balls being pumped into the box and Posh not dealing with overly convincingly.

Still Orient making Posh's life difficult, struggling to get the ball forward and hold onto it.

Better five minutes from Posh, EMC wastes an effort from the edge of the box, into the side-netting.

Great chance!

Great run from Ajiboye to take 3 players out of the game on the right, drives in a low cross to Jones, mis kicks the ball, so poor.

Posh make their spell of pressure pay.

Short corner, Burrows to Ajiboye to send a ball into the box, Knight heads across goal and EMC throws himself into a diving header just in front of the line, great bravery.
