The points are shared

FT: Aldershot Town 1 v 1 Chesterfield

The Spireites end a run of four straight defeats. It’s a point on the road. That was a better second-half.

He swivels on the edge of the box but his strike just dips over the bar.

Still 1-1. All the momentum is with the Blues, though.

Horton shot blocked

All Chesterfield at the moment.

Double Spireites sub - 75 minutes

McCallum and Mandeville off, Colclough and Quigley are on.

From the edge of the box.

Horton got in down the left but his low cross was well cut-out.

Half chance for McCallum

But Dobra;s cross from the left was too high for him and the ball just skimmed his head.

1-1 with 17 to go.

Good save by Fitzsimons

To deny Hutchinson after he broke clear again. Stood tall and made a great block.

Sheckleford then does well to cut-out a dangerous cross.

Huge chance for McCallum

The striker is played in one-on-one by Dobra but he makes a bit of a mess of it and it goes well wide. That was a huge chance to put the Blues in front.

Banks has a shot on target from the edge of the box after good play by Akinola and then Dobra.

GOOOOAAAALLLL!!! 1-1

MCCALLUM!!!

Chesterfield equalise one minute into the second-half and it’s a first Spireites goal for McCallum. Sheckleford cross from the right, McCallum’s first effort hit the bar and may have gone in, but he reacted to prod in the rebound anyway. 1-1.

Here we go in the second-half.
