    Time:90'
    • Doncaster Rovers
    • Cardiff City
    • - The final whistle goes at the Keepmoat Stadium and Cardiff's two late goals have kept their hopes of automatic promotion well and truly alive.
    • 90' Koumas scores another, and it'll go down in the history books as an easy win for Cardiff today thanks to the sub's contribution.
    • 90' Jason Koumas spares Cardiff's blushes! Against the run of play the Bluebirds win a free kick, and Koumas utterly lashes it in from just over 25 yards. What a time to produce a strike like that - and with QPR losing today the Championship suddenly looks a lot less pre-determined that it had been.
    • 78' James Coppinger's fabulous long-range striker gives Doncaster an equaliser! The hosts have really upped their game in the second half, and Coppinger's 25-yard thunderbolt into the bottom corner brings them the reward they've merited.
    • 45' Half-time at the Keepmoat Stadium and Cardiff retain their half-time lead.
    • 15' Cardiff have already blown a string of chances, but continue to dominate - and it pays off as Chris Burke scores to put them ahead! A typically skillful moment from Jay Bothroyd cut the Doncaster defence open and Burke was the man to take advantage.
    • 8' Doncaster have flown out of the traps at the Keepmoat Stadium, and they've got the Bluebirds on the ropes at the moment.
    • 2:56 A win today would be Cardiff against struggling Doncaster would put the Bluebirds in an interesting position: they'd then really be wanting arch-rivals Swansea to beat Norwich this evening to boost their hopes of grabbing that second automatic promtion spot. But a win for the Swans would keep them right in the hunt for that spot as well. Talk about the devil and the deep blue sea...
    • 2:43 Doncaster: Gary Woods, Dumbuya, Martis, Friend, Mills, Coppinger, Gillett, Stock, Oster, Moussa, Hayter ///////// Cardiff: Heaton, McNaughton, Keinan, Samuel, Quinn, Burke, Olofinjana, McPhail, Whittingham, Bellamy, Bothroyd
