Unseen hero keeps Blackburn Rovers level against Middlesbrough | OneFootball

Balazs Toth set the tone in the fifth minute with a low save, anchoring Blackburn Rovers' 0-0 draw with Middlesbrough.

Early on he got down sharply to his right to smother a skidding effort, then commanded his box with decisive punches as Boro piled on corners.

Before the interval he reacted to tip away a central header (45.). After the restart he parried a low strike towards the bottom right (58.), maintaining calm when the visitors pressed.

He finished with three saves and two punches, vital interventions as Boro registered 12 attempts and carried the attacking weight.

Sitting deep suited Blackburn, and Toth's positioning and clean handling cut out second balls, buying time for counters and resetting their defensive shape.

Blackburn visit Birmingham next. Boro host Millwall.
