Luke Molyneux's late penalty ensured Doncaster marked their return to League One with a 1-0 victory at home to Exeter.

The winger converted from the spot in the 88th minute after Exeter substitute Kevin McDonald had been penalised for handball.

It was a deserved triumph for Doncaster, who showed more attacking intent throughout without creating too many clear-cut opportunities.

The visitors to the Eco-Power Stadium produced the more threatening moments of the first half, with Sonny Cox dragging a shot narrowly wide from a Jayden Wareham cut-back.

Doncaster defender Matty Pearson turned the ball on to his own bar as he attempted to cut out a cross.

The hosts were more of a threat after the break, with substitute Robbie Gotts pulling a shot off-target early in the second half.

But goalkeeper Thimothee Lo-Tutala came to Doncaster's rescue when he raced out to smother the ball at the feet of Ilmari Niskanen after he burst into the box.

And it set the stage for Rovers' late triumph as Molyneux made no mistake from the spot.
