Darlington 2-1 Rochdale
Ian Miller's injury-time header handed Darlington the advantage in their League two play-off semi-final.
Rochdale's Chris Dagnall curled a shot against the bar before Jason Kennedy gave the hosts the lead with an exquisite shot into the top corner.
The visitors pressed after the break and got their reward when Dagnall equalised with a deflected effort.
But substitute Miller rose highest to head in Neil Wainwright's free-kick and snatch victory in the dying moments.
