Doncaster substitute Joe Ironside ensured a share of the spoils for Rovers in the battle against fellow League Two high-flyers Notts County.
The two sides were separated by only goal difference heading into the game and Alassana Jatta's first-half header looked set to give County daylight between them and their hosts.
But Ironside equalised midway through the second half as a high-quality contest at the Eco-Power Stadium finished 1-1.
County made a bright start count in the 13th minutes when Jacob Bedeau collected the ball on the left before curling in a fine cross for Jatta, who planted a header beyond Ted Sharman-Lowe.
Doncaster responded well with Luke Molyneux twice seeing shots deflect behind.
At the other end, Sharman-Lowe recovered well from a slip to deny Jatta a tap-in with a stretching save.
And the on-loan Chelsea keeper made a good stop to deny George Abbott after a smart one-two with Jevani Brown as County pushed for a second goal.
Rovers were unable to take advantage of good chances for Patrick Kelly and Molyneux, before finally equalising with 17 minutes left when Ironside planted a header beyond Alex Bass from a brilliant Jamie Sterry cross.
