Shrewsbury 2-2 Macclesfield

Macclesfield Town were once again left cursing the officials as the Shrews scored deep into injury time at the end of the game to give the home side a highly undeserved point.

The Silkmen had already seen a penalty saved when a rash challenge from a physical Shrewsbury side took out Sean Hessey in the box, but Carl Tremarco saw his kick saved.

All the goals in the game had come in time added on as the Silkmen took the lead through Nat Brown who headed home from a corner just before half time. With the Silkmen supporters looking forward to a pie and a lead at the break, the home side equalised when Fairhurst poked home a left-wing cross.

Amazingly the injury time scoring wasn`t finished and a breathtaking move between Junior Daniel and Emile Sinclair finished with Daniel firing home a low drive.

Macc could have had another chance to extend the lead before the break as they won a corner, but the referee decided time was up and wouldn`t even allow the kick to be taken.

The second half saw the Silkmen still in control of the game and the officials` glaring error came towards the end as a flowing move saw the ball worked to Ben Wright in front of goal, who fired goalwards. The ball appeared to have been well over the line when it was scooped away by the ‘keeper, but none of the officials spotted it and for the second time in four games, the Silkmen were robbed of a goal, and eventually two points.

As the game was about to reach a conclusion, a second half which had not seen a goal somehow saw five minutes added on at the end. But it was into the sixth minute of added time that the home side won a free kick which was headed past Brain by Hibbert to steal a point from an excellent Silkmen performance.
