  1. YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:44 GMT 20 December 2025

    Leyton Orient 2-1 Bradford

    Bradford's Aden Baldwin takes down Ollie O'Neil not far from the box to get his name scribbled on the naughty list and give away a free-kick in a tasty position for the O's.

    If they can score here, you have to feel the win is theirs.

    Daniel Udoh has given Salford breathing space 3-0 up against Barnet.

    Colchester still lead against Newport but Sammy Braybrooke has pulled one back to make it 3-1. Micah Mbick scored the home side's third goal just after the hour.

    Alex Gilbey has added MK Don's fourth and his second as Harrogate continue to be put to the sword.

    Oldham still lead 3-1 against Tranmere, Chesterfield are still one to the good against Shrewsbury.

    Fleetwood and Gillingham are locked at 1-1 with six minutes of normal time to play.

  3. 'Lincoln must stay alert'published at 16:42 GMT 20 December 2025

    Lincoln 2-1 Cardiff

    There are still chances being created for Lincoln City.

    We just need to keep alert and keep aware. We know Cardiff have dangerous players.

    It's been a bit quiet at the Eco-Power Stadium but the home fans would probably have liked it to stay that way as Doncaster concede a penalty to give Lorent Tolaj a chance to convert and claim his hat-trick.

    The Pilgrims now have a 4-1 lead and it is seeing them skyrocket up the table to be clear of that dreaded relegation zone.

  5. CLOSE!published at 16:37 GMT 20 December 2025

    Lincoln 2-1 Cardiff

    Is this the chance?

    Sonny Bradley nods down a Tom Bayliss free-kick and Rob Street has the chance to surely seal the win for the Imps with 10 minutes and change remaining but can't keep his cool and lashes over the top of Matthew Turner's bar under pressure from close range.

  6. Postpublished at 16:36 GMT 20 December 2025

    Leyton Orient 2-1 Bradford

    Omar Beckles' first touch sets him up well to get a third for Orient but while he's got enough venom on his shot, he can't get it on target to see whiz past the post.

    Another goal would make things much more comfortable at the BetWright. As it stands, Bradford are playing for their second place spot.

  7. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:36 GMT 20 December 2025

    Rotherham 0-3 Huddersfield

    Cameron Dawson keeping the deficit to three with vital saves to deny Bojan Radulovic a second and sub Dion Charles his first of the game.

  8. Postpublished at 16:34 GMT 20 December 2025

    Wycombe 2-1 Bolton

    For a moment it looks like the home fans will be singing Sam Bell All The Way later as the Chairboys man is played clean through from halfway into green space approaching the Bolton goal.

    However a brilliant recovery run and last-ditch tackle from Eoin Toal denies us that festive prospect and just about keeps Bolton's hopes alive.

    Reece Cole has put the game to bed for Exeter as they go 3-0 up at home against Barnsley.

    The Grecians have scored more than double their points at home than they have on the road and they are giving their ticket holders something more to enjoy today.

  10. League Two round uppublished at 16:32 GMT 20 December 2025

    #bbcefl

    Michael Mellon has a second hat-trick of the season adding to his FA Cup treble against Northampton last month.

    His third here has given Oldham a 3-1 lead over Tranmere but the visitors have been given a bit of hope with a red card for the home side's Mike Fondop-Talom.

    He has been sent off for foul and abusive language. Naughty boy. Just before Christmas as well.

  11. YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:30 GMT 20 December 2025

    Rotherham 0-3 Huddersfield

    Lynden Gooch has a goal, two assists, and now a Christmas card... of the yellow variety, following a foul on Dan Gore.

    The Terriers still not sitting on their lead, pushing to add to it, though Joe Powell has just bent a free-kick narrowly wide for the Millers.

  12. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 16:29 GMT 20 December 2025

    Swindon 1-0 Crawley

    Josh McGregor and Ryan Tafazolli are on for Swindon for Darren Oldaker and Fliozofe Mabete.

    Would you believe it? Someone has intentionally scored at One Call Stadium.

    Jack Diamond is the first to celebrate his name on the scoresheet as he gives Stockport a 2-1 lead over Mansfield with a solid header.

  14. CLOSE!published at 16:28 GMT 20 December 2025

    Wycombe 2-1 Bolton

    Still Bolton pressing... Xavier Simons switches play with a diagonal pass to Amario Cozier-Duberry who cuts inside and lets fly from the edge of the box, only to fizz his effort over the top.

  15. 'Cardiff shellshocked'published at 16:28 GMT 20 December 2025

    Lincoln 2-1 Cardiff

    Rob Makepeace
    BBC Radio Lincolnshire sport

    Cardiff look a little shellshocked.

    Lincoln are having a little five-minute spell here, they're putting the Cardiff backline under pressure.

  16. CLOSE!published at 16:26 GMT 20 December 2025

    Leyton Orient 2-1 Bradford

    Dom Ballard wants that hat-trick.

    He's taking aim from the box after he's found by Charlie Wellens on the break but his right foot doesn't seem as trusty as his left this afternoon as he drags it wide.

  17. 'Big moment for Lincoln'published at 16:25 GMT 20 December 2025

    Lincoln 2-1 Cardiff

    Michael Hortin
    Assistant Editor, BBC Radio Lincolnshire

    What a fantastic delivery for that set-piece! We said they could be key.

    It's been 20 minutes of wonderful football from Cardiff but it's Lincoln City who are back in front!

    It could be a big moment in the season for Lincoln.

  18. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 16:25 GMT 20 December 2025

    Swindon 1-0 Crawley

    Harry Forster and Geraldo Bajrami are replaced by Kabongo Tshimanga and Ade Adeyemo as Crawley look for a foothold in this game.

  19. goal

    GOAL: Lincoln 2-1 Cardiffpublished at 16:25 GMT 20 December 2025

    Sonny Bradley (67 mins)

    The Imps have weathered the storm and come out smiling...

    Tom Bayliss whips in a deep corner which Sonny Bradley is left unmarked at the far post to nod inside the upright.

    The leaders will have to do it all over again in the final 20-odd minutes.

    They have won 13 points from losing positions, how they'd like to make that 16 as a Christmas present.

  20. CLOSE!published at 16:24 GMT 20 December 2025

    Wycombe 2-1 Bolton

    Mason Burstow is off the bench for Bolton and his first involvement is to glance a header from Thierry Gale's cross onto the roof of the net.
