Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Lincoln City FC gets underway.
  • 5' Crewe Alexandra FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 10' Lincoln City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 20' Ryan Alebiosu is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Crewe Alexandra FC tonight.
  • 21' What composure from Chris Long! The England international strokes it home. 0-1.
  • 26' Crewe Alexandra 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.
  • 31' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Lincoln City FC and Crewe Alexandra FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 36' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Alex Morris will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 37' Another change for Lincoln City FC made on 37 minute. Tony Scully leaves to be changed by Max Sanders.
  • 42' 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 Dave Richards suffering a number of foals already.
  • 47' Crewe Alexandra FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 49' Josh Lundstram is replacing Ryan Alebiosu for the Crewe Alexandra FC side.

  • 56' The whistle greets Lasse Sorensen as he departs to be replaced by Tom Hopper.
  • 61' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Crewe Alexandra FC that had 96 games and scored 102 goals.
  • 66' Another substitution for Crewe Alexandra FC to replace Oliver Finney by Daniel Agyei on 66 minute.
  • 71' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 76' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 79' A goal from the England international Tom Hopper! He fires home on 79 to make it 1-1!
  • 82' The whistle greets Rekeem Harper as he departs to be replaced by Luke Murphy.
  • 87' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
