Peterborough won a five-goal thriller despite the shock resignation of boss Steve Bleasdale just before kick-off. Posh, with club owner Barry Fry taking charge, dominated early on but fell behind when John Miles hammered home.
Danny Crow levelled from an Adam Newton cross and David Farrell put Posh 2-1 up with a header from Lloyd Opara's cross.
Miles drew Macclesfield back to 2-2 from close range before Crow hit a last-gap winner for Posh after being set-up by Tim Ryan.
