First Town sub - 66 minutes

McCourt, who has been very good, comes off for Oyeleke.

TSHIMANGA!!!!

He tucks away his second penalty of the game.

Second penalty to Town

And it’s King who was brought down again.

From Kerr on the far side to stop Weston in his tracks.

Another rasper from McCourt goes inches past the post. It looked in. It went like an arrow.

Takes aim from distance but it is an easy save for Justham.

6,063 (125 from Dag & Red).

HT: Chesterfield 1 v 1 Dag & Red T

shimanga’s penalty cancels out Walker’s opener.

The Spireites have looked decent going forward but a bit suspect at the back in the last 15 minutes of that half.
