Bury were allowed to walk the ball into the net to equalise in the closing stages of their draw at Doncaster.
Bury put the ball out after Nathan Cameron was injured, only for Harry Forrester to score in attempting to play the ball back to the visitors.
After the referee consulted with both benches, Doncaster allowed Leon Clarke to dribble from the centre circle and walk the ball over the line.
Before that, striker Clarke had twice hit the woodwork on his Bury debut.
Bury manager David Flitcroft told BBC Radio Manchester:
"We looked threatening all day, it was a performance that I wanted to see where the team was at.
"We've done a lot of work in our offensive play and in the summer we rebuilt the forward line.
"We've got to be a multi-scoring team, we've got to get goals from all angles and aspects and try to drive and attack teams with a real force."
