Shrewsbury 0 Rochdale 1 (Thompson 62)

Joe Thompson's headed goal, two minutes after leaving the substitute's bench, was the difference between Rochdale and Shrewsbury.

The scoreline did not reflect the nature of the game, which Rochdale dominated 70% of, but they could not find a match clenching second. They held out comfortably to go nine points clear at the top of the division, their task aided by the sending off of Shane Cansdell-Sherriff.
