Mitchell prevents another goal
‘That should have been it’ says a Barrow commentator. Walters is sent through on goal after Ro-Shaun misses an interception but Mitchell is out to stop his effort.
Josh Gordon then flashes a header wide from close range. Doncaster are lucky this isn’t 3-0. Still a few hundred faithful fans here watching the last few minutes.
It should be 3-0
Barrow break again and almost score a third, but a shot from close range hits Josh Gordon and flies over the bar.
GOAL - 2-0 Barrow
A clincical counter attack sees Tyrell Warren finish off a slick attacking move after Barrow broke with three on two after Adam Long’s missed interception.
Doncaster didn’t deserve to be level. They’ve barely laid a glove on their hosts in the second half.
Double switch for Doncaster
Max Woltman is on for his Doncaster debut in place of Kyle Hurst. Jon Taylor also comes on for Harrison Biggins.
