A draw at Rotherham would usually be seen as a good result, but the Daggers would have been frustrated they were held at the Don Valley Stadium. They lead for most of the second half and looked destined to earn all three points only to concede an equaliser with practically the last kick of the match.

Rotherham started the afternoon by going straight on the attack. Drewe Broughton's flick played in Reuben Reid but Mark Arber was there to clear for a fruitless corner.

A minute later the Daggers responded as Paul Benson turned Ian Sharps and as he cut to line up a shot, Nick Fenton came in to block and concede what proved to be another fruitless corner.

That suggested an exciting opening to the game but in truth it really was a low key start from both sides. The Daggers best move saw a good build up where Ben Strevens set up Matt Ritchie. His cross from close range found Benson who could only toe-poke straight at David Stockdale.

The closest the home side came to an early goal came from a Dale Tonge free-kick that reached Sharps. The centre half's header looped over Tony Roberts but also over the angle of the post and crossbar.

The home team grew stronger as the opening period wore on. The Daggers were almost embarrassed by a mix up between Mark Arber and Roberts. They allowed Reid to get on the end of a high ball from Michael Cummins. The striker poked the ball past Roberts but also past the post.

Another high ball, this time from Andrew Nicholas, allowed Reid to get in once more. A super tackle from Scott Griffiths denied Red on that occasion as the referee waved away some Rotherham appeals for a penalty.

Arber lost out in possession to Mark Hudson, who whipped in a fine shot that forced an equally fine save from Roberts who tipped the ball behind.

The Daggers keeper was the busier as he saved from Broughton. Magnus Okuonghae meanwhile received a yellow card after he stopped a Rotherham attack inadvertently with his hand.

John Still's men certainly benefited from the break. Just two minutes into the restart, Glen Southam lofted a high ball from the right after being found by Strevens. It went over Benson, but Ritchie was there at the far post and he leapt high to head home from close range to give the Daggers the lead.

The visitors could have had a second a minute later. Benson chased down a long ball and attempted to pass to Ritchie. That was intercepted by Danny Harrison, but in an attempt to play the ball back to his keeper, the midfielder played it short and Ritchie got the ball first. The on loan winger rounded the keeper and then went down but the referee decided not to award a penalty.

Another good chance fell the Daggers way as Benson played Strevens clean through. Stockdale made a very good block with his body to keep the deficit to one.

The Millers at this time were by and large kept at bay. Broughton headed a Tonge cross over and then they had a very good chance as sub Ryan Taylor found himself clean through. Roberts saved his side by making a low stop to force the ball away.

The Daggers had chances to win it. Taiwo almost benefited for a poor goalkeeper clearance. He picked out Strevens who was foiled by Stockdale who redeemed himself with a fine save.

Last weeks hero Jon Nurse replaced Ritchie and he found himself through on goal. Stockdale made another save while Benson couldn't force the rebound home.

Benson was also on hand to set up Southam, who shot wildly over when perhaps he could have expected to hit the target.

The Daggers were made to regret missing those chances. In the fifth minute of added time Rotherham won a free-kick right on the edge of the area. Reid hit it, the shot was blocked, but in the scramble Sharps was there to score a last gasp equaliser.

It was the last meaningful kick of the game. The Daggers kicked off and immediately afterwards the referee blew the final whistle.
