Leyton Orient salvage unbeaten start with late leveller at Halifax
Posted Sunday, September 09, 2018 by PA
Leyton Orient scored a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser to maintain their unbeaten start to the Vanarama National League season following a 1-1 draw at Halifax.
Halifax forward Matty Kosylo tested visiting goalkeeper Dean Brill early on before Orient grew into the match with Marvin Ekpiteta seeing his strike saved by Sam Johnson, while Macauley Bonne spurned several good openings in the first half.
Zimbabwe international Bonne almost created the opening goal 10 minutes after the restart when his cross found Josh Koroma but his effort came off the far post, with the Shaymen capitalising on the away side’s profligacy.
Kosylo was felled inside the area for Dayle Southwell to slot home the spot-kick and edge the hosts in front, but James Alabi finished from close range in the first minute of added time to earn a valuable point.
