Leyton Orient held to goalless draw by Port Vale
Posted Wednesday, March 13, 2024 by PA
Relegation-threatened Port Vale picked up a point in an uninspiring goalless draw at Leyton Orient whose play-off hopes received a massive dent.
Although the home side were on the front foot for the majority of the first half, they were unable to get past keeper Connor Ripley.
It was the visitors who spurned the best two chances of a drab and goalless first half.
From a set-piece, Funso Ojo cleared the crossbar with a close-range header and then James Wilson blazed over when he met a superb cross from one-time Orient forward Gavin Massey.
Four minutes after the break, Orient keeper Sol Brynn protected his clean sheet when he beat out a fierce shot from Alex Mighten.
Orient’s best chance fell to substitute Ruel Sotiriou when he latched onto a through ball with 12 minutes remaining and raced clear of the opposition defence before delivering a powerful shot that crashed against the bar before rebounding to safety.
The Valiants have now played 13 matches without tasting victory while Orient failed to find the net for the third successive match.
