HT: Chesterfield 2 v 0 Altrincham
Goals from Liam Mandeville and Kabongo Tshimanga have the Spireites in front.
It’s not been particularly pretty but it has been effective.
The visitors may feel a little hard done by.
Boos for the ref at the break.
GOOOOAAALLLL!!! 2-0
TSHIMANGA!!!
Mandeville delivers a deep corner, Grimes wins it and Tshimanga swivels and turns it in for his 18th goal of the season. 2-0. Almost half-time.
Excellent from Mandeville
Wonderful determination frm Mandeville to dig out a cross from the right. Khan was waiting at the near post but he didn’t react quick enough and the ball was cleared.
Home crowd getting frustrated with the referee after another bizarre call.
Decent build-up play from Town again. This time it ends in Weston crossing for Khan at the back post, he wins the header but then Kellermann is penalised for a high-foot on Thompson. That time the referee got the decision correct but he has got a few wrong tonight so far.
