Share spoils

nobody could get the finishing touch on a tantalising ball.

Vale’s best chance came through Luke Hannant, who fired over when the ball dropped to him after a corner as both teams struggled to create clearcut chances.

Macc’s most favourable opportunity fell to Harry Smith as he fired over from the inside the box after Fitzpatrick picked him out in a scrappy second-half.

However, nobody could make the breakthrough in the second-half, so the spoils were shared come the final whistle.

The draw means that Sol Campbell’s side extend their unbeaten home record to four games with Tranmere Rovers next to face the Silkmen.
