Brentford,who would achieve automatic promotion if they had won,were awarded a penalty in the 90+5th minute with the score at 0-0.
On-loan striker Marcello Trotta took the crucial kick,but hit the bar and the resulting counter attack from Doncaster saw them score and win the league.
'It is hard to describe',says Rösler,'A game which went down to 90 minutes really depended on 30 seconds.'
'I chose Kevin O'Connor(Brentford's captain and longest serving player) to take it but Marcello insisted he took it instead.He lost sleep to be honest after missing.'
Despite winning the semi final playoff on penalties against Swindon,The Bees lost in the final to Yeovil.
'We must bounce back and look ahead.I told the team that they must be focused ready for the new season although the agonising sense of defeat is still raw'.
Had Trotta scored,Brentford would've been back in the second tier for the first time in eleven years.
