Nottingham Forest were unable to create a single shot on target as they were defeated by a solid display from Doncaster Rovers.

Forest struggled to get going in the first half and had virtually no possession, allowing Doncaster to control the play. But the home side were unable to capitalize and Forest were fortunate to go in at half time on level terms.

Forest failed to produce anything in the second half and Doncaster's goal had an inevitability about it. And they could have made it three or four if it hadn't been for good work by the Forest keeper.
