- 19' 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’s a booking for Lincoln City FC player. Conor McGrandles gets a card.
- 27' Supporters expect more eagerness from Conor McGrandles, as he is very good at scoring at Vale Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 32' 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 Grant Ward suffering a number of foals already.
- 37' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Lincoln City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 42' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

- 49' What a strike from Robert Street! The score is 0-2.
- 54' 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.
