Kosylo shoots from distance and it takes a ridiculous bounce off the turf in front of Loach and bounces in. A bit freakish, that.
48 played.
Half-time
Town have had the majority of the possession but they haven’t tested Alty’s goalkeeper enough. Well in control but not created enough.
0-0.
Khan blasts over
From distance on his left boot. Mandeville went long, Quigley did well to control it and Khan then let fly.
Chesterfield have been the better side and are in control but it remains goalless.
