By Grimes to cut-out a ball in the air which was heading towards Palmer in the box.

It’s all Chesterfield

Wrexham have got no answer to Chesterfield’s electric football so far.

For King and Wrexham’s McFadzean.

2-0 after 32 minutes.

Banks takes the free-kick, he drills it at goal, Howard can’t hold it, cleared for a corner.

Should that have been a pen?

Dobra goes under a challenge on the left side of the box - but was it in the box? Dobra thinks so. Ref awards a free-kick.

GOOOOAAAALLL!!! 2-0

BANKS!!!

Chestefield are 2-0 up after 23 minutes. It comes about after superb pressing and hard work from Dobra, who pinched the ball off keeper Howard, before showing composure to pick out Banks who fired in from about 20 yards.

Wrexham clainm for a penalty

After a tussle between Williams and Mullin in the box. Not given.

The pace of this game is insane.

Almost 2-0. Asante’s effort comes back off the post, it bounces back to Quigley but he could not turn it home. So, so close.

It all came about after great switch of play by King. It was great control by Asante before he cut inside on his right foot. It looked in. Shame.
