Lincoln City secured a professional away victory at Mansfield Town with goals either side of the half coming from a first-half penalty and a late clincher. Robert Street converted from the spot just before the interval after Kyle Knoyle's early booking set the tone for a fractious encounter that saw six yellow cards distributed. The Imps controlled proceedings after taking the lead, withstanding Mansfield's attempts to find an equalizer before substitute Tom Bayliss sealed the points in the final minute. This result strengthens Lincoln's position in the League One table while leaving Mansfield to reflect on a missed opportunity at home, with both teams showing their commitment in what became an increasingly physical contest.
