  1. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:52 GMT 20 December 2025

    Swindon 0-0 Crawley

    The visitors have had the better of this with shots on target, shots off target, a penalty which was given... then taken away.

    But it remains goalless at the break and Swindon are looking unlikely to be top at Christmas unless they can hit their straps in the second period.

  2. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:52 GMT 20 December 2025

    Leyton Orient 1-1 Bradford

    A goal apiece at the BetWright Stadium.

    Stephen Humphrys punished wandering Orient keeper Tommy Simkin by firing past the stopper after having a shot prior denied by the keeper's gloves.

    Orient soon restored parity though, thanks to a fantastic cross from Tyreeq Bakinson that found the head of Dom Ballard.

    Bradford have had more sights at goal but the hosts are taking more than their fair share of the possession. Intriguing contest, this one.

  3. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:51 GMT 20 December 2025

    Wycombe 2-1 Bolton

    Bolton were good value for their early lead through Thierry Gale's far-post volley but two goals in quick succession just before the break have the Chairboys sitting pretty at the break.

    Jack Grimmer and Junior Quitrna have turned the game on its head.

    The Trotters have won 10 points from losing positions so far this season, and they'll need to do it again if they are to avoid losing ground in the promotion race.

  4. League Two round uppublished at 15:50 GMT 20 December 2025

    #bbcefl

    Goals starting to flow in League Two now with Charlie Whitaker pulling Tranmere level against Oldham at 1-1.

    Colchester have doubled their lead against Newport with Samson Tovide adding a second to give them a 2-0 lead two minutes short of half time.

    Barnet's Nnandi Ofoborh has put into his own net to give Salford a 2-0 lead.

    MK Dons lead 3-0 at Harrogate, Gillingham are 1-0 up against Fleetwood while it is goalless between Shrewsbury and Chesterfield.

  5. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:49 GMT 20 December 2025

    Lincoln 1-0 Cardiff

    The leaders are behind at third-placed Lincoln at the break.

    Alex Robertson's own goal is the difference, but Yousef Salech might well have put the visitors ahead moments before.

    Leo Castledine (44 mins)

    Game over?

    It's a second assist for Lynden Gooch as he whips in a perfect cross for the impressive Chelsea loanee Leo Castledine to head past Cameron Dawson.

    The Terriers are running riot down the road at Rotherham.

  9. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 15:44 GMT 20 December 2025

    Swindon 0-0 Crawley

    And it is given.... to Crawley. But after a brief discussion between the linesman and referee, the decision is overturned and a corner awarded instead.

    What a turnaround...

    The ball is played to Junior Quitrna who bustles his way past Max Conway as the Bolton man slips and then unleashes a shot which beats Teddy Sharman-Lowe into the bottom corner.

    This game has turned on its head in the space of two minutes.

  11. 'Classic own goal'published at 15:42 GMT 20 December 2025

    Lincoln 1-0 Cardiff

    Rob Makepeace
    BBC Radio Lincolnshire sport

    Classic own goal that was, wasn't it?

    The problem is the Cardiff player had to do it otherwise it's reaching Jack Moylan.

    Moylan can run off and celebrate with the rest of the Lincoln players as they lead against the league leaders.

    It doesn't matter how they go in, it matters that they go in.

  12. goal

    GOAL: Wycombe 1-1 Boltonpublished at 15:42 GMT 20 December 2025

    Jack Grimmer (41 mins)

    The Chairboys are back on terms.

    Dan Harvie's cross is flicked on the near post and Jack Grimmer lashes home past Teddy Sharman-Lowe at the back post.

  13. goal

    GOAL: Lincoln 1-0 Cardiffpublished at 15:41 GMT 20 December 2025

    Alex Robertson, og ((40 mins)

    How big that miss could be...

    Lincoln go up the other end and Reeco Hackett plays a dangerous ball towards Jack Moylan in the box but Alex Robertson stretches out a leg to cut it out and can only prod the ball past Matthew Turner to send the home fans wild.

    Huge goal in the promotion race.

  14. 'How has he missed?'published at 15:41 GMT 20 December 2025

    Lincoln 0-0 Cardiff

    Rob Makepeace
    BBC Radio Lincolnshire sport

    I don't know how he's missed it!

    I think he just got underneath it, and when you're underneath it it's always going to rise and it's just ricocheted off the crossbar.

  15. CLOSE!published at 15:41 GMT 20 December 2025

    Lincoln 0-0 Cardiff

    How have Cardiff now gone ahead.

    Reeco Hackett makes a vital clearance to prevent Yousef Salech breaking the deadlock with Alex Robertson missing the target moments later.

  16. goal

    GOAL: Leyton Orient 1-1 Bradfordpublished at 15:39 GMT 20 December 2025

    Dom Ballard (36 mins)

    All even now.

    Tyreeq Bakinson whips a great ball into the box and Dom Ballard is more than happy to give the treatment it deserves to nod it into the net.

  17. Postpublished at 15:39 GMT 20 December 2025

    Lincoln 0-0 Cardiff

    Another glimpse of goal for Lincoln as Sonny Bradley heads on a curling Reeco Hackett free-kick but it's a routine save for Bluebirds back-up stopper Matthew Turner.

  18. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:37 GMT 20 December 2025

    Leyton Orient 0-1 Bradford

    Tayo Adaramola has picked up an injury and forces the hosts into an early change.

    On comes Omar Beckles with a job to do.

  19. League Two round uppublished at 15:34 GMT 20 December 2025

    Kyreece Lisbie, with a fifth goal of his campaign but a first in the league since September, has given Colchester the lead against bottom club Newport.

    Aaron Collins has a second of the afternoon waiting just nine minutes to bag his brace and put MK Dons 2-0 up against struggling Harrogate.

    And now Alex Gilbey has tightened their grip with a third. Game over already after 29 minutes surely?

    Oldham have taken the lead against Tranmere with Michael Mellon on target after 31 minutes.

    Gillingham lead at Fleetwood, Bradley Dack with the strike, and Salford have taken the lead through Joshua Austerfield against Barnet. It is goalless in the other match in League Two between Shrewsbury and Chesterfield.

    The goals are flowing now.

    Stockport's Kyle Wootton has got on the scoresheet but not in the way he wants. He's given credit for an own goal that sees Mansfield 1-0 up.
