Scunthorpe just keep coming. Dale fans have seen this movies before, recently, and it doesn't have a happy ending.

Declan Howe and Alfie Beestin are both crowded out in the box as they tried to get a shot away.

Joe Pritchard wins a free-kick just inside the Dale half and everyone bar keeper Louis Jones is going up for the Iron.

Callum Roberts' high ball produces a spot of head tennis before Ollie Whatmuff comes off his line to claim confidently.

Sam Beckwith is back into the action for Dale after a hamstring injury, replacing Ryan East with less than five minutes of normal time remaining.

All Scunthorpe now as Tyler Denton bursts into the box on the left and fires in a low cross which Ollie Whatmuff gathers at his near post.

Dale look to be reeling a little and the Iron have renewed energy and hope.

Another sight of goal for Declan Howe as Iron begin to play more direct but Ethan Ebanks-Landell flings himself to his left to provide a timely block to his 18-yard effort at the expense of a corner.

That is the disapointing thing that you always knew could happen with Rochdale.

A long ball over the top just when Rochdale were trying to hold a high line.

It is very tense at the Crown Oil Arena now.

Brief stoppage, and not a good one, as ref Jamie O'Connor has brought an object across to the fourth official - possibly a coin, thrown from the stands.

We're back under way quickly, but let's hope this finale plays out in the right spirit.

Not sure what Rochdale fans would think about that now, Dominic, given they're closing in on a trip to Wembley - although they also have to get past Boreham Wood.

Rochdale can go on to win this even more comfortably than they are at the moment.

But at some point Scunthorpe will need to go for it.

Dale legend Ian Henderson is on for the final 15 minutes in place of Devante Rodney, while Luke Hannant is also off for the hosts with Joe Pritchard coming on in his place.

Callum Perry has a glimpse of goal 20 yards out but he can only curl down the throat of Louis Jones in the Iron goal.

Callum Perry's high diagonal into the Iron box is headed behind by a nervy-looking Branden Horton, but Ryan East's corner is too deep and Scunthorpe are able to clear.

Tyler Denton does brilliantly to win a Scunthorpe corner as he tries to whip in a first-time cross after a 60-yard diagonal ball towards the corner flag.

Zain Westbrook curls it in to the near post and Iron see a shot blocked in the mixer by Manny Dieseruvwe before the ball is curled back from the right and Callum Roberts heads straight at Ollie Whatmuff.

You can see Scunthorpe getting a little desperate and throwing balls forward.

They are having a little bit of success with it as well.

Dale are purring again and Tobi Adebayo-Rowling finds some space on the right of the box before standing up a cross which is nodded behind by a defender at the back post, though Louis Jones claims the resulting corner with ease.

Dale's Ryan East draws a foul from the frustrated Tyler Denton on the touchline and the Iron man goes into the book.

Just signs they might be losing their cool a little.

The composure and technical aspects of the Rochdale players look just on another level to Scunthorpe.

The sloppiness and misplaced passes from Scunthrope has been the story of the game.

They need to start believing.

Just signs of frustration creeping into the Iron ranks, and their noisy fans have fallen rather silent.

Talisman Callum Roberts has a long chat with the assistant referee on the right flank after being flagged for offside.
