Leyton Orient Secures Narrow FA Cup Victory Over Tamworth

Leyton Orient of League One narrowly avoided an FA Cup first-round upset with a hard-fought victory against National League side Tamworth.

The match was decided by an own goal from Tamworth defender Kennedy Digie, which proved crucial for Orient, who struggled for much of the game against their opponents from two divisions lower.

Tamworth had an early goal disallowed in the first minute when Manny Duku found the net, but the effort was correctly ruled out for offside.

This victory secures Orient a spot in the second round, where they will face Salford City, following the draw that took place prior to tonight's match.

Further updates will follow.
