In their third-tier clash at the Keepmoat Stadium on Saturday, Rovers keeper Marko Marosi was sent off for handling outside the area with seven minuets remaining.
Having already made three substitutions, midfielder Ben Whiteman donned the gloves and managed to keep a clean sheet and help the hosts to a point.

Incredibly Portsmouth had suffered the same fate when the two sides faced each other at Fratton Park in February, with a draw also the outcome then.
"I don't think I'll ever do that again, touch wood," Whiteman, 22, told BBC Radio Sheffield.
"Sometimes you just need to take one for the team. I just felt comfortable going in net and wanted to help the boys out.
"Marco made some crucial saves today and we can't forget that."
