Double save from Montgomery!
First from Oldaker and then from Mandeville. Both were very good stops. Gateshead are still in this game because of him.
Off the bar!
Mandeville dinks a cross to the far post, Quigley wins the header, Montgomery somehow gets something on it and it bounces on top off the crossbar! Dobra’s shot is then deflected for a corner. It’s all Chesterfield.
Almost 3-1
Town break forward and Montgomery makes a great save to deny Dobra’s curling shot finding the top corner.
GOOOOAAALLL!!! 2-1
MANDEVILLE!!!
Perfect start to the second-half, 2-1 on 47 minutes. King’s free-kick is blocked but it falls into the path of Mandeville who strokes it in with his left foot.
