Events

Match Events

  • 0' Coventry City FC have kicked off against Lincoln City FC. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
  • 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 10' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 15' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Tyler Walker suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' It looks like no one’s ball. Coventry City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 25' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 30' The energy levels are beginning to show. Michael Appleton might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 32' A goal from the England international Zain Westbrooke! He fires home on 32 to make it 1-0!
  • 37' Lincoln City FC is showing some good football. However, Lincoln City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 42' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 42 minutes.
  • 47' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 52' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 57' Lincoln City FC have won 389 goals from 326 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 62' Coventry City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 62.
  • 64' The Lincoln City FC bench stirs into life. Michael O'Connor is withdrawn and John Akinde gets his opportunity.
  • 69' Lincoln City FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 73' Jack Payne gets the nod from Lincoln City FC. He replaces Harry Anderson and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 78' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Lincoln City FC that had 326 games and scored 389 goals.
  • 83' Lincoln City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 87' A tactical swap from Coventry City FC — Maxime Biamou on, Jordan Shipley off on 87 minutes.
