Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Doncaster Rovers FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Jason Lokilo has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Lincoln City FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 15' Taylor Richards puts Doncaster Rovers FC on the lead.
  • 20' Tom Anderson has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 25' Joe Walsh is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Doncaster Rovers FC tonight.
  • 30' 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.
  • 35' Lincoln City FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 40' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 45' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Lincoln City FC and Doncaster Rovers FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 50' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 55' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 55 minutes.
  • 60' Doncaster Rovers FC have won 266 goals from 235 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.

  • 66' A change in the Doncaster Rovers FC ranks — Elliot Simoes exits the field as Jason Lokilo enters on 66.
  • 67' Controversy at the stadium! Tom Anderson argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 72' The referee has no hesitation. Tayo Edun is booked for Lincoln City FC — Yellow card on 72.
  • 77' Time for substitution for Lincoln City FC. Conor McGrandles is replaced by Tony Scully.
  • 82' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 85' Brad Halliday picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 87' The referee shows Doncaster Rovers FC player a Yellow card on 87.
  • 90' The whistle greets Fejiri Okenabirhie as he departs to be replaced by Jon Taylor.
