Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Doncaster Rovers FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Oliver Sarkic has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 10' Doncaster Rovers FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
- 15' Doncaster Rovers FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 20' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 25' Burton Albion FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 30' David Templeton has been relatively quiet despite scoring 11 goals in his last 387 appearances.
- 35' Supporters expect more eagerness from Kieran O'Hara, as he is very good at scoring at Keepmoat Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 36' The Scotland David Templeton breaks the deadlock on 36 minutes. 0-1!
- 39' What an equalizer from Jon Taylor!
- 41' Burton Albion FC make a change. David Templeton trudges off to be replaced by Nathan Broadhead on 41 minutes.
- 46' Doncaster Rovers FC make a change. Ben Sheaf trudges off to be replaced by Madger Gomes on 46 minutes.
- 51' It is a cagey affair so far. Doncaster Rovers FC in their trying to find a way past Burton Albion FC's compact .
- 53' Magnificent from Lucas Akins! That is 41 goals in 387 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 57' Kieran Sadlier does the damage! The net is bulging and Doncaster Rovers FC surge ahead!
- 62' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 67' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Seny Dieng suffering a number of foals already.
- 72' Doncaster Rovers FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

- 77' Lloyd Dyer gets the nod from Burton Albion FC. He replaces Oliver Sarkic and will look to change the dynamic.
- 78' Rakish Bingham is replacing Jon Taylor for the Doncaster Rovers FC side.

- 88' The supporters are chanting for Alfie May. He replaces James Coppinger on 88 minute.
