Lincoln City upset Reading in a tense match at the Select Car Leasing Stadium. The League One game, matchday 43, ended in a 1-0 victory for the visitors, a result that doesn’t reflect Reading’s overwhelming possession (62%). The game was marked by tension and cards: Reading accumulated four yellow cards (Mbengue, Ehibhatiomhan, Camara, Yiadom), while Lincoln received five (Bayliss, House, Hamilton, Darikwa and an additional unspecified player). Despite the home side’s territorial dominance, Lincoln showed greater effectiveness, with 5 shots on target compared to Reading’s 2. The winning goal came in the 65th minute, scored by J. Collins, assisted by R. Hackett-Fairchild. Despite Reading’s numerous attempts, with 13 shots in total, their lack of precision and Lincoln’s solid defense prevented them from equalizing. The referee was B. Speedie.
