Fulham are in the driving seat at the New York Stadium after Ben Pringle and Ross McCormack scored to give the Cottagers a 2-0 lead over Rotherham at half time.
Ryan Tunnicliffe saw a snap-shot skid wide of the goal as Fulham started well, before Chris Maguire had a shot saved after Dan Burn slipped to give him a view on goal.
Pringle punished his former club and got Fulham on the board early after tapping in a Moussa Dembele knock down. McCormack then got played in on goal by Dembele but he was well denied by the feet of Adam Collin.
Greg Halford chopped down James Husband in the box and McCormack duly stepped up to smash the penalty home. Jonson Clarke-Harris then had a penalty appeal for Rotherham turned down after tumbling under some pressure from Pringle.
