Denzel Hall’s powerful volley proved to be the matchwinner as Rotherham edged out Exeter 1-0.<\/p>\n
Rotherham had early chances from crosses but Jordan Hugill and Kion Etete saw their headers kept out by diving saves from Joe Whitworth.<\/p>\n
All the opportunities were falling to the home side and Hugill was denied again after bulldozing his way through and then Hall’s shot was agonisingly wide.<\/p>\n
Dutchman Hall would not be denied on 39 minutes though as he smashed in powerfully after a cross was cleared into his path by Ed Turns.<\/p>\n
Rotherham’s hopes of securing the points were thwarted in the second half by Whitworth as he kept out a header from debutant Thomas Holmes.<\/p>\n
Joshua Kayode also had a couple of half chances with one whistling wide from Reece James’s cross.<\/p>\n
Exeter threatened a leveller late on but Sonny Cox could not get enough of a touch onto Josh Magennis’ header to divert it in.<\/p>\n
Magennis himself tapped home in added on time but was denied by an offside flag.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Denzel Hall’s powerful volley proved to be the matchwinner as Rotherham edged out Exeter 1-0.
