    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    Another defeat for Rotherham and a big blow to their hopes of staying in the Championship.

    Brentford make it 10 games unbeaten thanks to Bryan Mbeumo's first-half header.

    Late, late chance to make it 2-0 but Marcus Forss blasts a low shot narrowly wide.

    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    Shot from outside the box by Rotherham midfielder Kieran Sadlier is blocked and drops kindly for David Raya.

    The Millers are huffing and puffing with no reward.

  6. Cheltenham promotedpublished at 20:54 British Summer Time 27 April 2021

    Cheltenham 1-1 Carlisle

    Cheltenham Town will be back in the third tier next season for the first time since 2008-09.

    They've got the point they needed against Carlisle.

    Michael Duff, who was appointed permanent successor to Gary Johnson in September 2018, has gone one better than their fourth-placed finish in last season’s curtailed league campaign.

    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    Best chance of the game for the Millers.

    Cross from the left and Michael Ihiekwe heads at goal from six yards out.

    It's straight at David Raya and the Spaniard stoops to save.

    Time is running out for the visitors.

    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    Corner to Rotherham.

    Swung into the six-yard box but it's claimed by David Raya.

    Surely Millers keeper Jamal Blackman will come up if they get another?

  9. Postpublished at 90 mins

    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    Michael Smith wins a corner on the left after forcing Charlie Goode to put the ball behind.

    The corner goes short but is wasted before bodies can get into the box.

    We'll have four minutes of added time. It's now or never for the Millers.

    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    Free-kick into the Bees box but the hosts hack it away.

    It comes straight back, with the Bees camping deep.

    Again they clear, then Ivan Toney wins a foul in the Millers half.

    Another switch for the hosts as Mathias Jensen comes on for Vitaly Janelt, who just took a knock.

    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    Rotherham are understandably throwing men forward now.

    It could leave gaps at the back for the Bees to exploit on the counter-attack.

    But the Millers are desperate for a goal.

    There's a quick break in play as Brentford midfielder Vitaly Janelt needs some treatment. With that and all the subs, there could be a fair chunk of injury time to play.

  12. Grimsby going downpublished at 20:47 British Summer Time 27 April 2021

    League Two update

    Ryan Bowman has broken Grimsby hearts.

    The substitute heads Exeter 3-2 in front.

    Grimsby are heading out of the Football League as it stands. Two minutes of normal time remain.

    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    Rotherham look jaded and a bit out of ideas.

    It's not surprising, given their heavy schedule this month as they play catch-up.

    Final change for the visitors as Kieran Sadlier comes on for Ben Wiles.

  14. GREAT SAVE!published at 83 mins

    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    Another vital save from Rotherham keeper Jamal Blackman.

    He dives to his left to palm away Emiliano Marcondes' curing effort.

    League Two update

    And a key goal at the bottom of League Two as Alex Fisher puts Exeter level with 10-man Grimsby.

    It's 2-2 at St James' Park.

    A draw would all but send the Mariners down due to their poor goal difference.

    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    Good play from Freddie Ladapo to trick his way into the Brenford box on the left through a crowd of players, but then the striker loses balance and is dispossessed.

    The Millers just can't make things click in the final third, and time is running out.

  17. Cheltenham up as it standspublished at 20:41 British Summer Time 27 April 2021

    League Two update

    A draw is enough to see Cheltenham Town promoted to League One.

    They're currently level with Carlisle.

    Carlisle keeper Magnus Norman has just made two fine saves to stop the Robins going ahead.

    Ten minutes to go at Whaddon Road.

  18. Postpublished at 80 mins

    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    Ten minutes plus stoppages for Rotherham to grab a goal from somewhere and keep their fate in their own hands.

    It isn't looking likely at the moment.

    Mads Bidstrup has just shot over the Millers bar from a narrow angle inside the area.

    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    First chance in a while for Rotherham.

    George Hirst strikes at goal from 25 yards out, but his shot hits team-mate Freddie Ladapo, who is in an offside position.

    Frustrating for the visitors. Boss Paul Warne is calling for urgency on the sidelines.

  20. Postpublished at 77 mins

    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    The hosts are still largely on top, with Freddie Ladapo yet to make much of an impact since coming for for Rotherham.

    The Millers make a triple change themselves.

    Matt Olosunde, Daniel Barlaser, George Hirst enter the fray.

    Wes Harding, Jamie Lindsay and Chiedozie Ogbene are the trio who head for the bench.
