GOOOOOAAAALLLL!!! 0-1
QUIGLEY!!!
The striker fires Chesterfield in front after just eight minutes. Mandeville got down the right and squared the ball for Quigley who blasted in. Bedlam in the away end. Against the run of play but we’ll take it!
Outstanding save from Loach!
To claw out Hudlin’s header on target, which again came from Boyes beating Maguire down Town’s left. The Blues have got to stop the crosses.
Chance for Solihull
And it comes inside the first minute.
The ball gets play out wide to Boyes on the ride, he beats Maguire and stands up a cross to the far post where Hudlin was lurking. But thankfully the ball went over the striker’s head and Town cleared.
