The 19-year old featured for Leyton Orient but could not help them pull an upset off against Premier League outfit Brentford in their third round Carabao Cup encounter on Tuesday night.
Harambee Stars prospect Zech Obiero featured for 72 minutes in Brentford's Premier League clash, but his industrious performance couldn't prevent them from falling to a defeat against Leyton Orient.
Obiero was actively involved in the midfield, winning three of his six ground duels. However, Brentford was outclassed by Orient, who shocked their Premier League opponents with a 1-0 lead early on through Brandon Cooper, who finished Tom James’ cross.
Despite Brentford equalizing with goals from Carvalho and Mikkel Damsgaard, and Christian Nørgaard extending their lead before halftime, they couldn't capitalize further. Leyton Orient played with 10 men after Jack Simpson was sent off for a second yellow card in the 75th minute, yet Brentford couldn’t find a way back into the match.
