BARNSLEY, England (March 21, 2026) (Interstat) — Substitute Elliot Lee scored the decisive goal as Doncaster Rovers opened the English League One season with a 1-0 road victory over Barnsley on Saturday at Oakwell Stadium.

The result defied pre-match projections that heavily favored the hosts. Doncaster’s winner came via a team move, with defender Corey O’Keeffe credited the assist. The match grew increasingly fractious, producing four yellow cards in a 20-minute span of the second half.

The victory gives Doncaster a winning start in league play, while Barnsley begins its campaign with a home defeat.
