In the 87th minute, LEYTON ORYENT's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Gavin Munday fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. Gavin Munday's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Lennie Sheridan firmly grabbed it by the left post. When Nathanial Straker came up free with the goalie in the 95th minute, the Cнєłsєα Fσσтвαłł Cłυв fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Nathanial Straker couldn't finish the play.
