In a tightly contested match, National League side Tamworth was left stunned after Leyton Orient emerged victorious with a solitary goal from an own effort by Kennedy Digie. The only score of the game came in the 36th minute when Digie, who plays for Tamworth, inadvertently sent the ball past his own goalkeeper to give the visitors a 1-0 lead.
Despite their valiant efforts, Tamworth were unable to find a way past Orient's defense, and they ultimately fell short against the League One outfit. The win marks an impressive turnaround in form for Orient, who will now proceed to the second round of the FA Cup following this hard-fought victory.

The FA Cup is turning into a total joke! I mean, who needs 90 minutes of boring, non-existent offense when you can get a lucky goal from your own player? 
Tamworth was thoroughly outplayed and still managed to pull off a draw... well, kinda. It's all about the own goals these days! 
The constant reliance on own goals is getting old.
It's all about the money and the TV rights at this point. When did the FA Cup become just another commercial venture rather than a real football tournament? 
, and it's crazy how that one own goal by Kennedy Digie ended up being the difference maker 
.
๏ธ. They definitely had their moments where they could've scored but ultimately couldn't find a way past their opponent's defense 
.
. Either way, I'm still kinda impressed that Orient won and moved on to the next round 
. But at the same time, is it fair for them to be favored over Tamworth just because of their league? Shouldn't Tamworth get some credit for going up against a team from a higher division? 
Tamworth deserved a better outcome after all that pressure they put on Leyton Orient's goalkeepers 
anyway I'm loving how Leyton Orient are doing in this FA Cup, they're giving everyone a run for their money 
and now we get to see if they can keep this momentum going next round 
so you know what that means? sometimes we gotta take the good with the bad, and make the best of situations. life's not always gonna be easy, but if we stay positive and learn from our mistakes, we can overcome anything 
Tamworth's goalies were all over the place, and Digie scoring an own goal? That's just too convenient! 
I mean, it's not like he meant to do it or anything, but still... one of those days, right? 
Anyway, Leyton Orient totally deserved that win. They've been on a roll lately and they just kept pushing forward until the goal. Tamworth had some good moments, but their defense was pretty solid. Still, you can't fault them for getting beaten by a better team. 
Now, I'm hyped to see how Orient will do in the next round... maybe we'll get some more surprises! 
. Who knows what the future holds for them? Maybe they'll pull off an even bigger upset? 
. I mean, Tamworth put up a good fight, but in the end, it was Digie's mistake that cost them the game 
.
. They've been struggling earlier this season, but this win shows they can step up their game when it matters most 
. But still, Digie's mistake was pretty impressive (and also kinda unlucky 
. Now they get to move on to the second round and hopefully make some more history 
.
they gotta keep that form going or else they'll get knocked out in the next round 
anyways, can't wait to see what leyton orient does next
