early stages

Late heroics from Lewis Montsma helped Lincoln City earn a deserved point against Sheffield Wednesday in a thrilling 1-1 draw at Hillsborough.

The Imps continued their league unbeaten run to seven games and were well worth a share of the spoils against the promotion hopefuls.

They enjoyed the most possession in the early stages on Wednesday, but it was the Imps who had the first chance of the game with two corners landing dangerously in the box, but the hosts took care of them.

The owls take the lead

Despite these early chances for City, it was the Owls who took the lead on 12 minutes when Will Vaulks’s cross up the middle was intercepted by Michael Smith, who stepped past Carl Rushworth to head in.

Vaulks nearly set up a second for the Owls five minutes later on a clever corner routine in which Akin Famewo lobbed a midfielder’s fly ball and Aden Flint narrowly missed the far post.

The Imps Level the Score

The Imps equalized on 28 minutes when Harry Boyes brilliantly won the ball down the halfway line before driving towards goal to unleash a low, powerful shot that was deflected into the path of Danny Mandroiu to exploit from just a few yards.

Mark Kennedy’s side caused further trouble for the hosts soon after, when Ted Bishop’s corner was played in by Max Sanders on the edge of the box, whose bending effort nearly caught David Stockdale.

tough city battles

City gained confidence in the equalizer and launched again just before half-time when Bishop and Ben House moved the ball together before the latter hit the side netting from inside the box.

Darren Moore’s side came within inches of retaking the lead on 69 minutes when Vaulks’s free-kick from the right was intercepted by Flint, who stepped past Rushworth and headed just wide of the post.

City continued to fight hard during the closing stages and were able to earn a valuable point along the way, with Jackson clearly making an effort from outside the line in eight minutes of added time to secure a deserved point.

home run undefeated

Danny Mandroiu’s second-half goal canceled out Sheffield Wednesday’s opener to earn a point and extend City’s unbeaten run in the local league to six games.

Lincoln City fullback Brooke Norton Cuffy was quick to praise the fans following the hard-fought win against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.
