Match Events

0' Welcome to LNER Stadium that hosts another battle between Lincoln City FC and Blackpool FC.
5' Blackpool FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
15' Sean Roughan has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Paudie O'Connor made 384 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
25' It’s high time Michael Skubala made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
30' 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 Ashley Fletcher suffering a number of foals already.
32' Ashley Fletcher puts Blackpool FC on the lead.
37' Lincoln City FC currently sit 11 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
40' Time for substitution for Lincoln City FC. Ben House is replaced by James Collins.
45' Lincoln City FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Blackpool FC's shape.
50' It looks surprising Lincoln City FC does not make any changes. Sonny Carey has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
52' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Albie Morgan on 52 minutes.
57' Brilliant from the ! Oliver Casey makes it 0-2 with a superb finish on 57.
62' Freddie Draper has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
67' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
72' Blackpool FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
77' Blackpool FC make a change. Robert Apter trudges off to be replaced by Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel on 77 minutes.
81' Blackpool FC ring the changes. Ashley Fletcher has done his job and it is now time for Jake Beesley to step up.
86' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Elkan Baggott.
90' Controversy at the stadium! James Husband argues furiously but the card stands.
90' A tactical swap from Blackpool FC — Josh Onomah on, Tom Bloxham off on 90 minutes.
The final score is 0-2.
