Watch Charlton Athletic Vs. Doncaster Rovers Live Stream: EFL League One Playoff Semifinal 2nd Leg, Start Time
The Doncaster Rovers look to become “legends” by taking a major step toward a return the English League Championship after an absence of seven years, as The Doncaster Free Press reported. And a victory in the League One promotion playoff would indeed be legendary, particularly after Doncaster finished in sixth place on the third-tier table — and trail 2-1 after the first leg against third-place Charlton Athletic.
In fact, it took until the 87th minute of the first leg before Doncaster revived their hopes in the playoff tie, via a goal from Matty Blair. Sunderland AFC await the winner of the semifinal, and the second leg will live stream from London.
