Kampen bød på en dramatisk start, hvor Leyton Orient chokerede alle ved at score det første mål i kampen. Man føler næsten, som om man ser et klassisk eventyr udfolde sig, hvor den lille dreng David slår kæmpen Goliat. Selvom Manchester City var på hælene, gav de sig ikke. Med et par skift og justeringer lykkedes det dem at komme tilbage, score to mål og sikre sejren med 2-1. En kamp, der så ud til at love alt andet end en simpel triumf for City, blev til en nervepirrende thriller, hvor Leyton Orient satte alle deres kræfter og mod ind.

Leyton Orient viste sig som en stærk modstander, der fik Manchester City til at svette, og det er netop det, man elsker ved FA Cupen – overraskelser og underdog-historier, der holder alle på kanten af deres sæder.
Som kampen sluttede og Manchester City fyldte sin plads i næste runde, blev det klart, at Leyton Orient havde gjort et uudsletteligt indtryk. Deres mod og beslutsomhed var inspirerende og værd at tale om. Det minder os om, at sport ikke kun handler om sejre og tab, men også om hjertet og sjælen hver spiller lægger i spillet.
