Lincoln City 0 Doncaster Rovers 1 RECAP: Rovers claim smash and grab win at the LNER Stadium

Norton-Cuffy bursts forward and then fires just wide from distance.

Good noise from the travelling fans as Rovers force a corner! This is their best spell in the game.

Rovers at least getting into some more advanced areas in this second half but yet to test the Lincoln goalkeeper.

McSheffrey might have to think about changing it up top. Martin and Griffiths have been chasing shadows all night.

Lincoln dictating the pace of the game again. Rovers happy to sit in.

Vital foot-in from Younger as Lincoln threaten. The corner comes to nothing.

Underway again...

Goalless at the break.

Job done defensively, just about. But when Rovers have got the ball they’ve been wasteful and have not threatened in the slightest.

Jackson with a shot from just outside the box but it sails high and wide. I think that was Rovers’ first meaningful attempt on goal.

Great work by Norton-Cuffy down the right and Maguire blazes over the bar from close range. Big chance for the Imps.

Mitchell again with another important save at the feet of Marquis.

Lincoln have ramped it up a notch and Marquis heads just wide.

There’s an almighty goalmouth scramble and Rovers finally clear.

Really poor pass from Gardner on the edge of his own box presents Cullen with a chance but Mitchell saves again.

Rovers yet to get anything going in an attacking sense. Keeping it tight defensively is the order of the day here.

Mitchell with another smart save this time to deny Cullen.

It’s fairly tame stuff for a so-called derby match. But Rovers are here to spoil, frustrate and be disciplined and so far they’ve done okay.

Mitchell at full length to deny Whittaker from inside the box.
