Make sure to place Google's font link element above your main.css link tag. This will allow you to call the Roboto font from Google fonts in your stylesheet. 

<link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">

The @import rule in your CSS is no longer needed now so remove that.

Matthew, Nevermind I figured it out. But the question asked me to import the Google Font link into HTML and the order of my lines of code weren't exactly right. Thanks for your concern

Robby, thanks for your answer. That's what I did and sure enough, I passed the challenge.
