Chance!

Two big chances!
First, Yussuf races clear one-on-one, his shot beats the Torquay ‘keeper but Moxey gets back and clears it off the line...just!
In the same attack, Rowe heads a cross back across goal to Mandeville whose diving header from a couple of yards creeps wide.
Two MASSIVE chances for Town!
Behind at the break
Chesterfield 0 v 1 Torquay United
Lemonheigh-Evans’ goal on 11 minutes is the difference so far.
Torquay looked dangerous in the first 20 minutes but Chesterfield have had the better of the last 20-25 minutes.
Carline has had a header cleared off the line and Mitchell and Rowe have had half-chances.
There is something in this game for Town if they can be more ruthless.
