  • 2' A goal from the Ghana international Tariqe Fosu-Henry! He fires home on 2 to make it 0-1!
  • 7' With 0 assists to his name this season, Tyler Magloire is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Lincoln City FC.
  • 12' 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.
  • 17' Jack Baldwin has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 17.
  • 18' What composure from Tom Hamer! The England international strokes it home. 1-1.
  • 23' Jack Sowerby is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Lincoln City FC so far.
  • 28' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 28 minutes.
  • 33' Northampton Town 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.
  • 35' Tyler Roberts has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 35.
  • 40' Over 40 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 43' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Ben House.
  • 45' Another substitution for Lincoln City FC to replace Tom Hamer by Lewis Montsma on 45 minute.
