Nigeria winger forces draw as Orient's promotion ambition stays on track

Moses Odubajo helped keep Leyton Orient's Championship promotion hopes alive by scoring a vital goal to cancel Peterbrough's opener and end the tie 1-1.


In the first leg tie Leyton Orient went behind when Britt Assombalonga put Peterborough United ahead in the 17th minute.

Odubajo levelled for Leyton Orient 17 minutes from full time to earn his team an away goal ahead of the return leg in a week time.

Leyton Orient are in a four team play-off with Peterborough United,Preston North End and Rotherham.

The winners from the Leyton against Peterborough United Clash will tackle the winner of the Preston North End versus Rotherham clash for a spot in the English Championship,the second tier of English football.

In January 2014,Leyton Orient were able to retain Odubajo's services despite interest from Premier League clubs and he has since repaid their fate by scoring 11 times.

The game also had another Nigerian Elliot Omozusi on display for Leyton Orient.
