20 minutes to go
Chesterfield could do with a spell of possession here, they are really struggling to retain the ball.

Whelan is booked for a high-footed challenge on Payne. Maguire is not happy and pushes Whelan. Payne might have been booked as well for saying something to the ref.
68 gone, 1-0.
Big chance for Eastleigh
Boyce’s close-range header is going in but it takes a deflection and goes behind for a corner. Big sigh of relief there.
