Doncaster Rovers v Sheffield Wednesday LIVE updates from the Eco Power Stadium

44’ - Penalty Donny.. Goal Donny.

1-0. Seemingly from nowhere. Gardner puts the penalty away, leaving Peacock-Farrell no chance.

39’ - Donny growing into it

Nothing is sticking up top - Sow and Kamberi are struggling to make an impact despite a number of balls coming in.

Rovers are growing into it a touch, though in truth they’re yet to lay a glove on Wednesday.

31’ - Owls piling on the pressure

Attack after attack, but Donny stay resolute.

That bit of killer quality missing so far..

26’ - First shot on target

Johnson crosses from deep and it takes a deflection off a Doncaster head on the way to Sow, who heads it tamely into the arms of Mitchell. Still 0-0.

21’ - They’re trying things

Donny are proving a nuisance to break down.

Wednesday are trying to hit the channels - Johnson and Hunt have both been involved early doors - but that killer chance is yet to arrive.

14’ - Wednesday well on top..

Rovers look keen to sit in a touch. Wednesday are playing some nice stuff between the boxes but have just lacked a bit of punch early doors.

9’ - Owls on the attack again..

Hunt earns a corner. Bannan receives loud boos as he collects the ball..

Fine work from Palmer, marauding from centre-half, puts in Bannan, then Kamberi, only for the Scot to shoot wide off-balance.

Wednesday looking good here.

3’ - Bright start Wednesday

They’re zipping the ball about early doors - Jack Hunt has just overhit a cross with their first real attack of the match.
