Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke

The late equaliser came from Paul Dawson 89', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Macclesfield led Total shots 13-6, even though the scoreboard went another way. Macclesfield also shaded Shots on target 5-3.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Macclesfield the favourite at 54.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
