Macclesfield   0 - 1   Rochdale

Macclesfield 0-1 Rochdale

Macclesfield 0-1 Rochdale

Rochdale took another step towards promotion as a bizarre second-half winner sealed victory at Macclesfield.

The match had been fairly even with Ricky Sappleton shooting over for Macc and Gary Jones going close for Dale.

The key moment came as keeper Jon Brain saved at the feet of Chris O'Grady only for the ball to hit defender Nat Brown and float into the net.

Deep into injury time, Rochdale's top scorer Chris Dagnall inexplicably missed from just two yards out.
