But play was halted early in the second half when a fan invaded the pitch.
The lout managed to evade the stewards but was eventually manhandled after slipping on the turf, much to the delight of the Den faithful.
The stewards’ colleagues took their time arriving on the pitch, which prompted goalkeeping coach Andy Marshall to run towards the lout and help restrain him.
Additional stewards eventually made their way onto the pitch and the yob was eventually escorted off the pitch.
Fans watching the game at home were quick to lambast the idiot supporter for invading the pitch and briefly suspending play.
One wrote on X: “Millwall vs Leyton Orient, you get idiots and you get this fool.”
Another said: “Pitch invader. Grappled to the turf.
“Millwall goalkeeping coach Andy Marshall has come on the pitch to help restrain him.

“It’s taken a fair while for security reinforcements to arrive.”
And another said: “It didn’t go as he expected.”
One remarked: “The stewards at Millwall are taking their time.”
Another Millwall supporter, however, saw the funny side of the lout’s actions.
They wrote: “We need to sign that pitch invader.
“Shown he is good at escaping his man and getting in the box which can’t be said for much of this squad.”
