Doncaster players celebrate 1st goal v Walsall

I got there, quite late for me, 7:10pm, barely time for a quick smoke and buy a programme. Got inside the stadium and no time for a pint, just a quick half.

Expected a bigger crowd, but I guess that being switched to a night game and it's a working week, some people could not make it.

Walsall attack in final minutes.

The game started at a frantic pace with both teams smothering the play of each other. Rovers took the lead on 16 minutes but Walsall hit back with an equaliser 2 minutes later. So at half-time it was 1-1 and nothing to choose between them.

Doncaster score a 2nd goal.

There were few chances throughout the game but 6 minutes remaing, Rovers took the lead through the prolific striker, Billy Sharp, 2-1. But Walsall were tenacious in their play and grabbed a second last-gasp goal just before the final whistle! 2-2.

Corner to Walsall in final minutes.

Doncaster appreciate their support.

The match finishes 2-2.
