Forrester late show downs York
Thursday 14 August 2014 09:41, UK
Harry Forrester netted late on for Doncaster as they progressed to the second round of the Capital One Cup with a 1-0 win over York.
The Minstermen, who conceded an injury-time leveller at Tranmere in the league at the weekend, had laid siege to the Rovers goal in the dying embers of the game, before the visitors broke quickly with Forrester picking his spot superbly from 20 yards out - his effort going in off the left-hand post.
It was hard luck on York, with the hosts matching their League One opponents all the way.
York created the best chances in the first half, with Ryan Jarvis testing Jed Steer while Tom Platt's fizzing shot went inches wide.
Doncaster's only serious effort saw Curtis Main blast over from 25 yards as they struggled to carve out any clear-cut chances.
