Here's how The Lancashire Telegraph scored the players' performances, with a six representing par for the course.
Aynsley Pears - 8
Made a few good saves to deny Gnonto and then Struijk's header. Commanded his box well, particularly second half when the pressure was ramped up.
Callum Brittain - 8
Really impressive defensively again. Also got forward and put a lovely cross on the head of Ohashi, who should have scored.
Danny Batth - 8
Won plenty of heads and kept Piroe quiet until he went off. Has been such an important addition.
Dom Hyam - 8
Had one scary moment in the first half with a short back pass but otherwise didn't put a foot wrong.
Harry Pickering - 8
Did well to shackle James with the help of Beck. Another rock-solid defensive performance.
Lewis Travis - 8
Battled scrapped and fought for his team. Frustratingly picked up a yellow for kicking the ball away and so will now miss Hull.
Sondre Tronstad - 9
Immense in midfield. So many blocks, tackles and interceptions. A brilliant performance.
Tyrhys Dolan - 9
His best performance for a fair while. From minute one, he looked at it. Running at defenders and causing problems. Won the penalty and was a constant thorn in Leeds' side.
Todd Cantwell - 8
Took the penalty and finished it well into the bottom corner. Could've had two more but wasn't ruthless enough.
Owen Beck - 8
A good man for this occasion. Gave them some drive down the left whilst helping out at the back.
Yuki Ohashi - 7
Ran himself into the ground for an hour. Should have scored with a header from close range but does so much good work for the team.
Substitutes:
Makhtar Gueye (Ohashi, 63') - 6
Had 30 minutes to hold the ball up and get Rovers up the pitch. Did ok but didn't see much of it.
Ryan Hedges (Cantwell, 91')
Unused substitutes: Hilton, McFadzean, Rankin-Costello, Buckley, Baker, Cozier-Duberry, Leonard.
Referee: Lewis Smith
Attendance: 21, 942
