Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. Lincoln City FC get us underway at LNER Stadium.
- 5' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Lincoln City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 20' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 25' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Lincoln City FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 30' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 35' That is a Yellow card for Lincoln City FC. Ben House will be fuming at that decision.
- 40' 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 Sean Roughan suffering a number of foals already.
- 45' The travelling Cambridge United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 50' Lincoln City FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.

- 62' It’s a booking for Cambridge United FC player. Paul Digby gets a Yellow card.
- 67' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Sean Roughan on 67 minutes.
- 68' Fresh legs for Cambridge United FC! Fejiri Okenabirhie comes on to replace Joe Ironside.
- 73' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cambridge United FC that had 196 games and scored 202 goals.
- 74' A moment of madness from Fejiri Okenabirhie on 74 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Cambridge United FC will be frustrated.
- 77' The referee shows Lincoln City FC player a Yellow card on 77.
- 79' The Lincoln City FC bench stirs into life. Olamide Shodipo is withdrawn and Charles Vernam gets his opportunity.
- 84' 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.
- 88' Lincoln City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Harry Boyes is hanging Sean Roughan on the field on 88 minute.
- The final score is 0-0.
