65 gone
Conteh smashed the ball into the net for the hosts but he clearly fouled Mandeville before doing so.
All Chesterfield
The visitors are still in control of this one but can they find that all-important winner?
Town are down to sixth in the table as it stands.
Another chance for McCallum
The outstretched McCallum did his best to turn in Colclough’s teasing cross from the left but he could not reach the delivery at the far post.
McCallum misses a sitter!
The striker has a simple tap-in, just like at Wrexham in midweek, but it is straight at Marschall. It came about after a brilliant driving run forward by Akinola into the box. McCallum has to score that.
Level at the break
HT: Gateshead 1 v 1 Chesterfield
The Spireites are level at the break thanks to McCallum’s equaliser.
GOOOOOAAAALLL! 1-1
McCALLUM!!!
Chesterfield are level just before half-time. McCallum turns in Mandeville’s low cross at the near post. 1-1
