Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Doncaster Rovers FC to score. At the same time, Rotherham United FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Doncaster Rovers FC that had 239 games and scored 270 goals.
- 8' What a moment for Mikel Miller! That strike on 8 puts his side firmly in control.
- 13' Wes Harding has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 16' Goal! Ben Wiles scores his 24 goal in 357 matches.
- 21' Kyle Knoyle needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.

- 56' The 33-year-old Michael Ihiekwe has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 61' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
