- 0' Welcome to Pride Park Stadium that hosts another battle between Derby County FC and Lincoln City FC.
- 5' 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 James Collins suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Derby County FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 15' Derby County FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
