  • 7' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Lee Gregory makes it 0-1.
  • 12' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 17' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 21' Matthew Virtue-Thick has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 21.
  • 26' England international David Stockdale has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 31' Carl Rushworth is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Sheffield Wednesday FC so far.
  • 36' The 25-year-old Mark McGuinness has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 41' Sheffield Wednesday FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 46' Against the run of play, Daniel Mandroiu has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 47' Daniel Mandroiu makes no mistake. The score reads 2-1 and Lincoln City FC are in front.
  • 52' It looks surprising Sheffield Wednesday FC does not make any changes. Ben House has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 57' The travelling Sheffield Wednesday FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 58' The Sheffield Wednesday FC bench stirs into life. Will Vaulks is withdrawn and George Byers gets his opportunity.

  • 71' Time for substitution for Sheffield Wednesday FC. Ben Heneghan is replaced by Fisayo Dele-Bashiru.
  • 76' 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 Fisayo Dele-Bashiru suffering a number of foals already.
  • 79' Poor challenge from Mark McGuinness. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 84' Lincoln City FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Sheffield Wednesday FC backline.
  • 85' Another substitution for Sheffield Wednesday FC to replace Josh Windass by Mallik Wilks on 85 minute.
  • 88' That is a Yellow card for Sheffield Wednesday FC. George Byers will be fuming at that decision.
  • The final score is 1-1.
