LIVE: Doncaster Rovers 2 MK Dons 1
56. Big save
Max Watters is released into the box but Pontus Dahlberg races out of his goal and blocks the shot.
46. Substitution
Aiden Barlow replaces Rodrigo Vilca.
No change in the system. Rovers remain in a 4-2-3-1
A decent half, game on a knife-edge
That, overall, was a decent half’s work from Rovers.
They dominated the first 20 minutes, established the lead and looked capable of adding to it.
The equaliser brought about the evening out of things and it’s been a back and forth affair from the mid-point of the half onwards.
It could go any way from here. Certainly heading into half time there was not a great deal between the sides.
Rovers must stay on the front foot.
42. Excellent counter
A really rapid counterattack from Rovers and they probably should have done better with it.
Ethan Galbraith played a stunning pass from inside his own half to send Jordy Hiwula racing into space. Hiwula came under some pressure as he checked the ball onto his left foot but still managed to get the shot away, with Andrew Fisher awkwardly saving.
40. Vital touch
Tommy Rowe rises at the back post to nod wide with Peter Kioso lingering ready to head in.
37. Decent attack
Rovers show some tenacity to keep an attack alive until Tommy Rowe curls a low effort across the face of goal that Joe Dodoo just cannot quite reach.
