The Cobblers break but they stopped in their tracks by Akinola who makes a tactical foul. Booked.
Visitors go close
Sam Hoskins, the top goalscorer in League Two, has been kept quiet all game but he has just flashed a dangerous, low ball across the six-yard box which just needed touching in but nobody had gambled.
Chance for the Cobblers
A heavy touch by Whelan leads to a chance for the away side but Fox strikes straight at Fitzsimons from near the penalty spot.
