Shaq Forde and Theo Archibald on target as Leyton Orient beat Cambridge
Posted Sunday, August 27, 2023 by PA
Leyton Orient recorded their first win of the season as they beat Cambridge 2-0 at Brisbane Road.
The visitors, who began the match as league leaders, had no answer to a determined home side who scored through Shaq Forde after 29 minutes and Theo Archibald in the 57th minute.
It was a memorable first league start for striker Forde, signed on a season-long loan from Watford. The 19 year-old was on hand to turn a deflection into the net following a Jordan Graham shot .
The O’s nearly doubled their advantage two minutes later when winger Archibald, a persistent menace to the U’s throughout the afternoon, rattled the crossbar with a thunderous shot from outside the box.
The visitors posed little threat, although O’s keeper Sol Brynn was forced into a save when Sullay Kaikai broke free just after the interval.
Archibald was rewarded for his influential performance when he gathered a pass from Tom James and drove the ball past Jack Stevens from 15 yards.
Full of confidence, the O’s continued to play purposefully to complete a convincing victory.
