Key Events

A very good away performance from Doncaster, who snap a two-game losing streak thanks to Kyle Knoyle’s second-half goal.
Up to tenth and within two points of the play-offs. Reaction to come.
Newport go close
Their best chance this half sees Mickey Demetriou head wide of the near post from a corner.
Three minutes added on
And another Doncaster chance as George Miller holds the ball up brilliantly before beating two defenders and finding Harrison Biggins, whose shot trickles wide. Unlucky.
Very good from Rovers
This is turning into a good away performance and they’re still threatening going forward. Home crowd growing restless, no real response from Newport thus far.
