Still 1-1. On a knife-edge this one.

Not sure who it was but a Town man made a great block to deny Roberts in the area. Crucial block.

65 gone, 1-1.

Drags a shot wide from about 16 yards. Chance.

For Notts’ Cameron for pulling back Asante when he had turned him.

GOOOOOAAAAAALLLL!!! 1-1

MAGUIRE!!!

Loz heads in King’s dinked cross to the far post. That has been coming. 1-1.

Kellermann fires over the bar from the edfe of the box after King teed him up. Better from the Spireites.

This time from a powerful shot/cross from King on his left boot. Better from the Blues.

This time Mandeville whips in a cross with a lot more pace. Quigley sticks out a leg but he can’t quite reach it.

Mandeville’s lofted ball in from the right goes all the way through to the far post where Asante is lurking. He get a shot off, there is a claim for handball against a Notts player, and then Jaros gathers.
