Leyton Orient completed a stirring comeback at Stevenage thanks to Dominic Ballard's clinical second-half brace. After falling behind to James Tyrrell Reid's 22nd-minute penalty, Orient showed character to level through Ballard just before the break and then seized control ten minutes into the second period when the striker struck again. The victory was built on Orient's ability to weather the early storm and capitalize on their momentum shift, with manager's tactical adjustments at half-time proving decisive. This result continues Stevenage's inconsistent home form while Orient's away resilience keeps them well-positioned in the League One promotion picture.
