Half-Time Report: Blackburn Rovers hold lead at half time

Blackburn Rovers hold a 1-0 lead over Doncaster Rovers at half time in their Championship clash.

Blackburn Rovers are holding a slender 1-0 lead over Doncaster Rovers at half time in the Championship, thanks to a first-half header from Rudy Gestede.

Tom Cairney looked to force the issue early on for Doncaster as he let fly with two speculative efforts from outside the box, however, they came nowhere near the keeper's goal having flown high and wide on each occasion.

Ben Marshall was the first to threaten for Rovers as he put in a pin-point delivery for Jordan Rhodes, who could only head the ball over from close range.

Marshall was in on the action again as he saw his long-range effort fly past the post, before Gestede flicked his header wide from the centre of the box.

However, Gestede made amends right on the stroke of half time when he converted a header from the right side of the six-yard box into the top right corner to give Blackburn a 1-0 lead going into half time.
