Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Lincoln City FC gets underway.
  • 5' Lincoln City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' 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 Danny Gardner suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Doncaster Rovers FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 20' Chris Maguire has been relatively quiet despite scoring 33 goals in his last 363 appearances.
  • 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Lincoln City FC that had 318 games and scored 382 goals.
  • 30' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Lincoln City FC and Doncaster Rovers FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 35' Lincoln City FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Doncaster Rovers FC backline.

  • 50' Tommy Rowe is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Lincoln City FC so far.
  • 55' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. John Marquis made 235 appearances and scored 95 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 60' 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.
  • 64' Teddy Bishop has so much to prove this time. He replaces Max Sanders on 64 minute.
  • 69' Cohen Bramall has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 1 cards already picked up this season.
  • 73' Joe Walsh catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 73.
  • 75' Danny Gardner adds to his 0 season tally! Doncaster Rovers FC lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 75' Doncaster Rovers FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Joe Dodoo is hanging Reo Griffiths on the field on 75 minute.
  • 76' Another substitution for Lincoln City FC to replace Liam Cullen by Tony Scully on 76 minute.
  • 81' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 82' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Red card for Joe Walsh.
  • 84' The whistle greets Chris Maguire as he departs to be replaced by Tom Hopper.
  • 89' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
