Key Events

  • Pompey return to action after midweek victory against Burton.
  • Blues make two changes with Macey and Tunnicliffe returning.
  • Lincoln undefeated at Sincil Bank this season.

That’s the last of the action as it finishes goalless at Sincil Bank.

Great save by Macey, who stops a late Lincoln winner.

We’re in to added time at Sincil Bank, can Pompey find a winner?

Bishop no!!!! The striker foun himself one-on-one with Rushworth and you’d put your money on the forward to score but he fired the effort so far over from close range.

So close by Bishop. Pompey are still pushing for a winner as the Blues striker fires an effort straight at Rushworth.

Bernard replaces Rafferty at right-back.

Pompey go up the other end and have the ball in the net before Scarlett’s effort was ruled out for offside.

Sorensen goes down in the box but the penalty shouts are waved away by the referee.

Roughan comes off injured in place of Boyes.

Scarlett replaces Hackett, with Curtis coming on to the right wing.

Double change for the hosts as Vernham and Sorensen replace Plunge and Bishop.

Pigott becomes the latest man in the book as he denies a Lincoln counter.

Pompey look rejuvinated after this change in formation. It looks like the Blues have switched to a 4-4-2 and have been dominant since the substitutions.

Great save by Rushworth. Rafferty’s ball across the box finds Curtis at the far post and the Lincoln keeper makes an outstanding save to keep the scores level.

Mandroiu hits the bar and Shodipo misses the follow up as Curtis and Pigott replace Dale and Lane.

Shodipo capitalises on a Hackett msistake and wins a corner for the hosts.

No surprises there. Hacktt goes in to the book after a high foot on Mandroiu.
