HALF TIME: MK Dons 1-2 Leyton Orient

Well that could easily have raced away from MK Dons, but Hendry’s goal has pulled the home side back into the game

45+1 mins: Good save

That free-kick, Hendry steps up to take and from a long way out forces Hemming into a good diving save

Obiero nearly loses out to Pritchard 30 yards out, he then hauls the Dons man to the deck. Booked.

Two minutes to be added on

In the picture: What a hit

41 mins: Ilunga fires wide

Good move, Leigh brings it under control, he lays off to Hendry who in turn feeds Ilunga down the left, it opens up for the 20-year-old but he fires his shot high and wide

38 mins: More yellows and handbags

Lewington sends Perkins crashing to the deck holding his head, then the skipper shoves Donley to the ground in dramatic fashion, but goes into the book for his troubles.

Scott Lindsey’s protests also sees him booked

33 mins: GOAL! Hendry gets one back

Finally a decent move! Ilunga’s pass for Wood looks like it had too much sauce on it, but the winger brings it under control, there’s some nice play on the right before Hendry picks it up on the corner of the box, and arrows one into the opposite top corner!

2-1

30 mins: A poor night so far

Dons look to be crashing out of the competition at this rate. Not at the races at all, they’re not being massively overpowered by Orient, but Dons are simply not playing well.

Passing has been poor, control non-existent and a long way off it.

25 mins: Another yellow

Tom James into the book for Orient after leaving it late on Ilunga on the touchline

23 mins: First booking

Not really involved as yet, but Callum Hendry fouls Cooper and goes into the book

21 mins: GOAL - Orient double their lead

All too easy for Orient. A simple ball over the top catches Lewington out of position, Sonny Perkins has the freedom of the attacking third to race into, with just Harness to beat.

The keeper initially denies the Orient man but the rebound comes back Perkins’ way and he rolls it into the empty net.

2-0

15 mins: Orient remain on the front foot

Lewis Warrington heads over the bar after an Orient corner.

One-way traffic so far

10 mins: Over the bar

It feels like there’s a divisions difference between the sides already as Happe launches an effort high and wide.

Dons look second best to everything in these early stages to their League One opponents

6 mins: GOAL - Kellman gifted the lead

Oh it’s poor from Tucker, right on the edge of his box but the defender goes to sleep, Charlie Kellman nicks it off him and rolls the ball past Harness.

1-0 Orient

5 mins: Messy from Ilunga

Excellent ball through the defence by Lewington unleashes Ilunga, but his second touch is poor and allows Dan Happe to get across before the Dons man needlessly fouls him

3 mins: Harness called into action

An early save for Harness in the Dons net, denying Tom James’ effort through a crowd of players
