0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at LNER Stadium!
5' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
10' The travelling Peterborough United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
12' A goal from the Wales international Dom Jefferies! He fires home on 12 to make it 1-0!
17' 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.
22' It looks like no one’s ball. Lincoln City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
27' Ben House needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 30 Yellow cards this season.
32' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
33' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Tom Bayliss makes no mistake. 2-0!
38' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
43' Cian Hayes, a Ireland forward, has 9 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
48' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
53' Carl Johnston has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
55' Freddie Draper doubles the advantage! 3-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
60' Goal! Ricky Jade-Jones scores his 28 goal in 387 matches.
65' The 30-year-old Conor McGrandles has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
66' Magnificent from Cian Hayes! That is 6 goals in 289 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
71' Both keepers have barely been tested. Lincoln City FC and Peterborough United FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
76' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Lincoln City FC and Peterborough United FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
81' 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 Paudie O'Connor suffering a number of foals already.
82' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. James Collins makes it 4-2.
87' A quiet spell here at LNER Stadium. Lincoln City FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Lincoln City FC players.
