Rotherham United got through to the second round of the Carabao Cup this evening after beating Port Vale two-one – but, at the end, it was a mighty close affair at the end.
The Millers appeared to be coasting going in two-nil at half-time – and it could have been more – but they had their backs to the wall for the last fifteen minutes or so with Vale fighting back.
The stats tell us that Vale had fifty-six per cent of the possession this evening and were successful in the duels – winning sixty-three per cent of the aerial duels. The Millers had eight corners to the hosts five and our passing accuracy in our opponents half came out at fifty-three per cent, though Vales was a little better than that.
We had three hundred and twenty-four accurate passes, sixty-eight of those long, with our opponents having almost as many long passes from four hundred and nineteen passes. We conceded fourteen fouls to Port Vale’s ten, the Millers getting two yellow cards and the hosts one.
Attack wise Rotherham had twelve shots at goal, nine from inside the box, with four of those on target while Vale had one shot on target from four.
