Lincoln City Edges Reading in Dramatic League One Finish

READING, England (Interstat) — Lincoln City scored twice deep in stoppage time to stun Reading 2-1 in a League One match Monday at Select Car Leasing Stadium.

Substitute Ryan One gave the hosts a lead in the fifth minute, which Reading held into added time. Lincoln City midfielder Lewis Wing equalized in the 92nd minute before substitute Jack Moylan completed the comeback with the winner four minutes later. Both late goals were assisted by substitutes Alfie Lloyd and Dominic Jefferies, respectively.

The result defied a pre-match projection that favored Reading. Lincoln City opens its League One season with a win, while Reading begins with a loss.
