Stockport Beat Doncaster 2-0 With Second Half Goals

Stockport County secured a 2-0 victory over Doncaster Rovers in League One after Mamadou Jobe and Kyle Wootton scored in the second half. According to Sky Sports' match report published October 20, 2026, the visitors converted their pressure into two goals, while goalkeeper Tommy Simkin made several saves to keep Doncaster in contention. Stockport took the lead in the 53rd minute when Jobe reacted quickest to a scramble following a corner and struck the ball into the net from eight yards.

The goal rewarded the visitors after they had controlled possession during the first half but struggled to create clear scoring opportunities. Six minutes later, Stockport doubled their advantage through Wootton, who finished a rebound after Simkin saved Oliver Norwood's penalty. The spot kick was awarded after Leon Ayinde tripped Ryan Glover, giving County another opportunity to extend their lead.

Norwood had earlier tested Simkin with a chipped effort that forced the Doncaster goalkeeper to push the ball over the crossbar. Stockport continued to threaten before the interval, although their attempts to find an opening initially produced no goal.

Jack Diamond also came close to breaking the deadlock before halftime. During stoppage time, he sent a shot across goal, and Wootton headed the resulting recycled ball wide. After Jobe's opener, Stockport gained further momentum, with Diamond posing a particular threat to the home defense. The visitors maintained their attacking pressure and capitalized on the penalty rebound to establish a two-goal cushion.

Despite conceding twice, Simkin prevented a larger deficit with another strong save against substitute Mikael Mandron. His interventions kept Doncaster within reach, but the home side could not convert its own opportunities into goals. Isaac Hutchinson provided one of Doncaster's late attempts to respond, curling a shot narrowly wide as Rovers searched for a route back into the match. Stockport held on to their advantage, completing a two-goal away win through Jobe's opener and Wootton's follow-up finish.
