Exeter City and Leyton Orient played out a goalless 0-0 draw at St James Park in English Football League One. The stalemate was a result of stubborn defending and a lack of cutting edge from both sides in a match of few clear chances. Exeter had the better of the possession in the first half but failed to test the Orient goalkeeper seriously. The visitors grew into the game after the break, with their best opportunity coming from a free-kick that was tipped over the bar. Both teams seemed to settle for a point in the latter stages, with the final whistle confirming a share of the spoils. The point does little to alter either team's mid-table standing, with both sides now looking likely to finish the season in comfortable but unspectacular positions. The Exeter manager spoke of frustration at not turning dominance into goals, while the Orient boss was pleased with a clean sheet and a point on the road.
