The front six were covering a lot of yards to protect their defence and SJR managed to reach half-time at 0-0.
Early in the second half, SJT had an unbelievable chance to snatch the lead, but Scott Wesley somehow missed from three yards.

Two minutes later, after fantastic work from Thackery, he slipped in Edwards who finished clinically to give SJR the lead.
Doncaster showed their higher level experience to keep probing. And on the 75th minute they levelled when a long ball found their winger, who volleyed home despite suspicions of offside.
It was then all City, who nearly grabbed a winner late on, hitting the bar from a corner.
