Key Events
- Rovers have won three out of their last four games heading into the clash
- Leyton Orient are managed by Doncaster legend Richie Wellens and top League Two with 14-point gap to play-offs
- Both teams couldn’t be separated at the Eco-Power Stadium last time out, drawing 1-1
Leyton Orient take all three points in a game of few chances thanks to a stunner from Theo Archibald. They were the better team after the break, have a great defensive record at home and limited today’s visitors to very little.
An encouraging first 45 for Doncaster ultimately goes to waste in east London. Reaction to come.
Rovers still trying
But it’s all too tame as Kyle Knoyle, who has rarely got forward today, fires over and into the stand behind the goal.
About four minutes left of normal time.
The heavens have well and truly opened. Looks awful down there now.
About 15 to play but Donny are yet to register an effort on target.
Bizarre moment
A flock of small birds, which appear to be green in colour - Parakeets apparently - are flying overhead.
Wonder if a magician’s trick has gone wrong somewhere nearby.
GOAL - Orient take the lead
A stunning dipping effort from Theo Archibald from outside the box flies over Mitchell. A great goal from the hosts, who celebrate in unison in the touchline.
Woltman on for Molyneux.
Max Woltman coming on
Donny could do with getting out of their own half a little. They’re being pinned back on the ropes a bit here.
Another good save Mitchell
He catches a volley from the edge of the box, real smart stop. Home crowd are getting loud now. Here comes that spell from the league leaders it would seem.
Mitchell punches clear
Theo Archibald tries to catch him out at the near post with a whipped effort but the Doncaster goalie punches the ball out for a corner.
Every man back for Donny now. Orient beginning to turn the screw a little and see a deflected effort fly just wide and out for another corner.
Booking for Tom Anderson
And a free-kick for Orient on the edge of the box. Think that must be for persistent fouling.
Orient unhappy
The ball becomes unstuck in a melee in Doncaster’s box, with several players on the floor and play at an impasse. Ref blows for a Rovers free-kick but Orient want a penalty. Not sure what for, a possible handball?
