Sonny Bradley's first-half header was enough to clinch all three points as Lincoln recorded a 1-0 League One victory over Burton.
Bradley broke the deadlock with a close-range header from Tom Bayliss' corner midway through the first half to settle a tightly-fought encounter.
An Even Opening
Lincoln's Ben House had an early header saved by Kamil Dudek, who was making his League debut, while Ugandan international defender Toby Sibbick was denied a first Brewers goal by George Wickens in the Lincoln goal.
