Burton were looking the more likely side to score - and now they have done!
Joe Powell collects the ball just inside his own half and races towards the Barnsley penalty area before drilling home low on his left foot.
Powell's fifth goal of the season and it could be a priceless one as Burton seek a first win in nine games.
The goal could also have dire consequences for Carlisle - who, as things stands right now, will be saying farewell to League One at full-time.
MISSED PENALTY
Stockport 0-0 Wimbledon
Wimbledon's James Tilley shoots wide from the spot.
Huge chance to go ahead squandered.
Post update
Carlisle 0-1 Lincoln
Lincoln's Joe Taylor has gone close to doubling his side's lead with a header - and given their record of 16 goals in the past four games, the visitors will be confident of adding more.
Carlisle, who could be relegated this afternoon if other results go against them, might have levelled just now when Jack Robinson fired one high over the bar.
Post update
Crewe 0-3 Forest Green
Forest Green's Jordan Garrick may have got a little touch or deflection on Ryan Inniss' header and the striker has been awarded the second goal.
They'll settle that one in the dressing room at half-time, I guess.

Peterborough are not giving up on this promotion race despite their back-to-back defeats, they have a second at Leyton Orient, who are seeing their own play-off hopes severely dented at present.
Ephron Mason-Clark has his 19th of the season, turning in a far-post header from a short corner from close range and Darren Ferguson's Posh are two up.
Another side who are 2-0 ahead are Oxford, Mark Harris doubling the advantage against lowly Fleetwood with his 14th of the campaign. The Us are only out of the play-offs on goal difference at present.
Post update
Bolton 1-0 Reading
Bolton are all over the visitors at the moment and almost doubled their lead with a second for Aaron Collins.
He latches onto a careless back-header by Tyler Bindon and takes the ball around Reading keeper Joel Pereira, but Bindon atones by getting back to block on the line.
GOAL: Crewe 0-3 Forest Green
Jamie Robson (28 mins)
What is happening?
I was writing up the second goal and I could barely clock what happened, sorry dear reader.
But it looks like a cheeky glancing header from Jamie Robson at the back post.
Crewe ... shell shocked! Is this the beginning of Forest Green's romp away from relegation?
GOAL: Crewe 0-2 Forest Green
Ryan Inniss (25 mins)
Dreamland for Forest Green!
From a set-piece, the cross flies in toward the back post and the big man (all 6ft 5ins of him) Ryan Inniss is at the back post.
Towering header! Back of the net. Huge fist pump!
HITS THE WOODWORK
Notts County 0-1 MK Dons
Ooof - Notts County nearly had their equaliser.
A superb solo run from Macaulay Langstaff, whose shot rattles the crossbar. He had the MK Dons keeper Filip Marschall well beaten.
This game is spicing up.

After that blistering start, things have slowed down somewhat, though Gwion Edwards has added a second for Morecambe who now lead promotion-chasing Barrow 2-0 and are within two points of the play-offs themselves in the live standings.
Crawley are the side in possession of the final play-off place at the moment and the Reds have just added a second at Newport, Ronan Darcy making it 2-0 on 26 minutes at Rodney Parade.
Post update
Burton 0-0 Barnsley
Well, that should have been the opening goal - but the chance goes begging for Burton.
Jasper Moon sends a ball over the top to pick out Joe Hugill, who controls but then rifles his volley wide of the far post.
Carlisle fans will have a close eye on this game now - with Cambridge winning and Carlisle losing, a Burton win would send the Cumbrians down.
Foxes back at the top

GOAL: Notts County 0-1 MK Dons
Max Dean (18 mins)
A stunner from absolutely nowhere!
What a strike from MK Dons striker Max Dean, who might never score a better goal.
He pushed the ball through the legs of a Notts County defender, looked up, and from 23 yards out uncorked an absolute screamer into the top corner.

Gassan Ahadme's 11th goal of the season has put Cambridge ahead against Wigan as they bid for a second straight win under Garry Monk to pull away from the drop zone.
At the other end of the table, Hector Kyprianou has put Peterborough ahead at Leyton Orient as Posh seek to recover from a couple of defeats and get their promotion push back on track.
Oxford are trying to join them in the play-off places and Cameron Brannagan has put them ahead against his old club Fleetwood. Charli Adam's side started six points from safety with one win in their past dozen games.

Burton 0-0 Barnsley
Lively start at Pirelli Stadium, with the home side creating a few chances.
Burton's Mason Bennett cut in from the right and forced a tip-over save from Liam Roberts, while John Brayford and Mark Helm have also gone close for the home side.
At the other end, Jamie McCart headed wide from a free-kick. Goals to come in this one, you feel.
GOAL: Bolton 1-0 Reading
Aaron Collins (11 mins)
Pick that one out! Just the start Bolton wanted as they bid to make up ground on the top two Portsmouth and Derby, who meet tomorrow.
The ball is worked through to Aaron Collins, who steadies himself and unleashes a thunderbolt from 25 yards into the top corner.

GOAL: Crewe 0-1 Forest Green
Jordan Garrick (14 mins)
A neatly worked goal and bottom club Forest Green take an early lead.
Jordan Garrick did well to get the ball out from under his feet, in a tight spot, but he gets a shot off and slides the ball past the Crewe keeper Tom Booth.
A handy assist from Christian Doidge set it up.
Game on!

Big goals at the foot of the table.
Charlie Lakin has put second-bottom Sutton ahead at home to Swindon as they fight for survival.
At Prenton Park, Kieron Morris had put Tranmere a goal to the good against Colchester on seven minutes. Less than two minutes later, Alistair Smith levelled for the Us, who are in the bottom two by a point as it stands, now below Sutton, while Forest Green are now five points adrift in the live table.
Salford are on the fringes of trouble, nine points ahead, but are 1-0 down at Walsall because of Jamille Matt's goal.
Post update
Notts County 0-0 MK Dons
Notts County the better side so far, early doors.
MK Dons looking a little lightweight at the moment at Meadow Lane.
Remember, a win would put the Dons on level points with Wrexham for third place in League Two.
GOAL: Carlisle 0-1 Lincoln
Ben House (10 mins)
Lincoln just can't stop scoring goals - and that hasn't changed today!
Joe Taylor heads back a cross and Ben House turns it into the net for his second of the season.
That relegation trapdoor might be creaking open for Carlisle...
