Bristol Rovers 1 Oldham Ath 0, League One, 12/September/09
Jo-Kuffour's last-minute winner sank Oldham as Bristol Rovers climbed to third place in League One. Substitute Andy Williams teed up Kuffour and he beat Latics keeper Dean Brill with a cool finish from 10 yards. Defences had dominated up until then, with Rovers creating most of the few chances there were and Mark Wright slicing the best of them wide. Oldham's best opening fell to Nick Blackman but he shot straight at Mikkel Andersen from 10 yards.
