Both sides were looking to bounce back from opening day league defeats as they entered their first cup competition of the 2021/22 campaign.
Walsall enjoyed a strong start to the match, but were unable to open the scoring during the opening forty-five and also created a few chances early in the second-half.
However, Doncaster grew into the latter stages of the contest, but were ultimately unable to grab the match-winning goal as the game went to penalties.
