- 4' Tom Bayliss does the damage! The net is bulging and Lincoln City FC surge ahead!
- 9' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Shrewsbury Town FC that had 329 games and scored 385 goals.

- 43' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
