Events

Match Events

  • 0' The ball is rolling at DW Stadium. Wigan Athletic FC are looking to make home advantage count against Lincoln City FC.

  • 15' Lasse Sorensen has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 20' Lukas Jensen has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 346 appearances.
  • 25' The energy levels are beginning to show. Shaun Maloney might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 30' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 35' With 0 assists to his name this season, Daniel Mandroiu is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Wigan Athletic FC.
  • 40' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 45' Lincoln City 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.
  • 50' Paudie O'Connor, a Ireland , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 55' Scotland international Ethan Hamilton has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 60' The travelling Lincoln City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 65' Jonny Smith is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Wigan Athletic FC tonight.

  • 75' Wigan Athletic FC is showing some good football. However, Wigan Athletic FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 80' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 85' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Lincoln City FC that had 322 games and scored 385 goals.
  • 90' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Wigan Athletic FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • Game over. The scoreline of 0-0 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
