Second Spireites sub - 67 minutes

Oyeleke off, McCourt on.

Denton this time does win a free-kick for having his shirt clearly pulled. The referee doesn’t give it but the linesman does. But was it inside the area? The home fans think so.

From the resulting free-kick, Williams heads towards goal but Andre saves.

Is saved and tipped wide by Andre.

Maguire then heads over from King’s cross from the left. That was a good chance but I don’t think he was expecting it to reach him.

Cuts inside from the left flank and forces a save from Andrea, but it was straight at him. Better though.

Denton is having his shirt pulled at every corner, the referee has to be aware of that.

Grimes heads over from King’s lates delivery. It wasn’t far off.

Eight minutes gone in the second-half, nothing of note has happened so far.

Here we go in the second-half.

1-1.

Tom Denton has replaced Akwasi Asante at half-time.

5,291 (49 Dover fans).

HT: Chesterfield 1 v 1 Dover Athletic

Khan’s equaliser cancels out Gyasi’s opener.

Overall, the Spireites need to improve massively if they are to win this. They haven’t kicked-on since drawing level.
