Well, well, well
After a game with very little drama, there was plenty in the shootout.
Three saves from Pontus Dahlberg paved the way with Kyle Knoyle holding his nerve to score the decisive spot kick.
On the balance of things, Rovers probably deserved it having been the dominant side after the break.
There was some decent positives on the night, particularly with the control of possession in the second half.
They’re through for the first time in three years.
Rovers can win it here
Kyle Knoyle to take this one. If he scores, Rovers are through...
...and he does so!
Rovers are into the second round of the Carabao Cup!
Walsall’s fifth penalty
Brendan Kiernan for Walsall...
Pontus Dahlberg saves a third penalty!
Still 2-1!
Rovers with the chance to level up
And it’s Ed Williams to take...
and it’s saved
Still 2-1 to Walsall who now have the chance to win it
