Leyton Orient and Blackpool were both still settling in after the lineups were announced and players began warming up, but the live action quickly brought two notable chances. Jaze Kabia missed a header, before Joseph Olowu had a header saved by Bailey Peacock-Farrell.
The save was the clearest moment in the live update, with Peacock-Farrell keeping out Olowu's attempt in the top right corner. It was a sign that Leyton Orient were already finding openings, particularly from set-piece situations.
Pressure from set pieces
The early chances suggested Blackpool were under direct pressure as Leyton Orient looked to make the most of their attacking moments. With corners and close attempts already threatening the goal, the match had the feel of a contest where one well-worked set piece could make the difference.
For Blackpool, Peacock-Farrell's stop was an important moment in a busy opening spell. For Leyton Orient, the missed header from Kabia and the saved effort from Olowu showed that the opportunities were there, even if the finishing had not yet matched the pressure they were applying.
