EXETER, England (March 10, 2026) (Interstat) — A second-half goal from substitute Tom Hamer gave Lincoln City a 1-0 victory over Exeter City in a League One match Tuesday at St James Park.

Hamer scored in the 32nd minute, converting with an assist from fellow substitute Tendayi Darikwa. The goal defied a pre-match projection from Interstat that favored a 1-1 draw, though its ELO system gave Lincoln City a 76% probability to win.

Lincoln City goalkeeper Jack Bycroft recorded an assist on the play. The match grew contentious late, with seven yellow cards issued, including four in second-half stoppage time.

The result gives Lincoln City a winning start to its League One campaign, while Exeter City begins with a defeat.
