Stevenage
Stevenage started brightly, pressing high and capitalizing on their early momentum with a well-worked goal in the 22nd minute. Their 3-4-1-2 formation allowed them to create overloads in midfield, but they struggled to maintain control after the break. Despite having more corners (5) and matching Orient in attacking phases, Stevenage couldn't find a way past the visitors' resilient defense in the second half. A combination of wasteful finishing and a lack of composure in the final third ultimately cost them points.
Key Players
Strengths
Weaknesses
Leyton Orient
Leyton Orient weathered an early storm and gradually imposed themselves on the match, controlling possession (54%) and showing greater efficiency in attack. Their 3-4-2-1 setup provided solidity and allowed them to transition quickly, with goals in the 44th and 55th minutes swinging the contest in their favor. Although they picked up four yellow cards in a combative display, their defensive discipline and ability to take chances at key moments were crucial to securing all three points.

Tactical Analysis
Stevenage lined up in a 3-4-1-2, seeking to dominate central areas and press high up the pitch. This approach paid dividends early, with their wing-backs providing width and midfielders supporting the front line. However, as Leyton Orient settled into their 3-4-2-1, they began to dictate possession and exploit spaces left behind the advancing Stevenage midfield. Orient's double pivot provided stability, while their front three interchanged positions to stretch the Stevenage backline. Subtle tactical shifts were evident after the break, with Leyton Orient dropping deeper to protect their lead and relying on quick transitions. Stevenage, chasing the game, pushed more men forward but lacked the creativity to break down Orient's compact shape. The visitors' disciplined pressing and timely fouls (reflected in their four yellow cards) disrupted Stevenage's rhythm and ensured Orient saw out the result.
Turning Point
Dominic Ballard's equalizer in the 44th minute shifted momentum decisively in Leyton Orient's favor, setting the stage for their second-half winner.
Man of the Match
Ollie O'Neill
