Match report: Bristol Rovers 1-1 Leyton Orient

By bristolrovers.co.uk  Wednesday Dec 4, 2019

Bristol Rovers progressed past Leyton Orient in the Leasing.Com Trophy thanks to a 4-2 victory on penalties after this match finished 1-1 after 90 minutes.

Alfie Kilgour netted his first professional goal inside the opening 20 minutes to put Rovers ahead, but the lead for the home side was short-lived, as Lee Angol provided the Os with an equalising goal some four minutes later with a simplest of close-range finishes.

Rovers had chances in the second half, with Lucas Tomlinson and Ollie Clarke going close, but the tie – played in front of only 865 spectators at the Memorial Stadium – had to be settled by a penalty shootout.
