FULL TIME:

Macc found a leveller from Danny Elliott in the second period but the Bucks deserved the very minimum of a point, our goal coming in the opening period from Remi Walker.

FULL TIME:

The Bucks defend the moment and will leave with a point.

Solademi covers an Elliott run and concedes a foul, Macc will get one final chance to load the box...

Gracey is called towards Solademi to collect but has to head clear, the ball runs to Buckley-Ricketts and he's urged to shoot but sends it wide.

Macc force a turnover and they flood forward, but captain Dawson lashes the ball into the side netting when played in on the right of the box.

Macc can't get out and Lawal, Armson and Dyer all make attempts to get into the box and force something to happen.

Bucks substitution.

ON: Jimmy Armson. OFF: Remi Walker.

Gracey take a goal-kick, Walker hoists the ball high and Lawal gives chase, earning a throw on the left touchline.

We'll play a mimum of an additional seven minutes.

Piggo will resume play and we restart with a drop ball on half way, which the Bucks punt deep towards the right corner flag.

We've a stoppage.

Piggott is down after being caught a blow to the head, and today's attendance is announced as 3,220, with 227 Bucks fans making the trip. Thank you for your support, it's always hugely appreciated by the lads.

The Bucks break through and Meddows takes aim, it's on target, blocked for a corner.

Macc booking.

Fensome is yellow-carded for pulling back Lawal as he turned away from the full-back onto Solademi's clearance up the left touchline.

Piggott tries to run the ball up the touchline and loses possession, Dyer has to chase Johnson and he goes down, Mr Viera waves away vociferous penalty claims.

Gracey holds again.

A well-struck cross from the right is held on the stretch by Gracey.

Both sides made changes.

Bucks sub ON: Ola Lawal. OFF: Ricardo Dinanga. Macc subs ON: Brandon Lee and Max Woltman. OFF: Luis Lacey, Josh Kay.

Gracey saves!

Another good stop from Josh, diving to his left to hold a header goalwards following a free-kick into the box.

Cranston does well to mop up and concede a corner after Fletcher was forced out of possession and Solademi missed his challenge. The free-kick the Bucks won earlier came to nothing, as you may have guessed.

Dyer receives a crossfield ball but can't go past Justin Johnson. The home fans aren't thrilled with Mr Viera's decision-making, and the Bucks get an attacking free-kick, on the right, 30-35 yards from goal.

Bucks substitution:

ON: Adan George. OFF: Matty Stenson.

The Bucks break quickly after possession is turned over and Meddows has a chance to run at the defence, but Macc get back and halt the surge.

Gracey races from his goal and plunges as the feet of Mellor to kill a possible moment for the hosts.

Lewis Fensome moves forward from full-back and exchanges passes before shooting, but he gets well underneath the ball and clears Gracey's crossbar from 20 yards.

Stenson is barged over by Rollin Menayese in the centre circle. The Bucks go on the attack from the restart, Dyer can't get past his man from a pass into the box on the right, Macc get a goal-kick.

Macc draw level.

The hosts equalise and you have to credit Danny Elliott for a superb strike of the free-kick, left-footed, across Gracey and into his top right-hand corner. It's hard to stop those.

Macc substitution.

ON: Isaac Buckley-Ricketts. OFF: James Edmondson.

Bucks booking.

David Solademi is shown a yellow card for a foul on Mellor as the two contest a bouncing ball. This give Macc a dangerous free-kick position, on the right corner of the box, just outside.

"Well done!" bellows Kevin Wilkin as the Bucks prevent Macc winning a corner and get a goal-kick instead. The gaffer must be fairly pleased with this performance, but there's still a long way to go yet...

The Bucks have made the better start to the half and they've created some half-chances. Macc keep misplacing passes and taking some poor touches, which is stressing the home support.

A corner taken by Cranston is partially cleared, Walker retrieves and his low shot is deflected out for another corner. This time the home side clears.

Walker puts the ball into Stenson's path with a great first tou

Walker puts the ball into Stens

Good Bucks pressure sees Walker wriggle into space after superb hold-up play from Stenson. Remi's low cross is partially cleared, Dyer retrieves and crosses low, that's blocked amid cries for handball, not given.

The hosts win a corner, Gracey holds under pressure.

A lively start to the half, Walker taking a kick but getting to his feet just in time to be part of a Bucks' counterattack that breaks down with a poor Meddows touch.

We're back in progress.

Neither team has made any half-time substitutions.

HALF TIME:

Gracey holds a late Macc free-kick at his near post in the third of three minutes added by the officials, and the Bucks go in at the interval ahead.

Jamie Meddows and Alex Fletcher have both gone into the referee's notebook for fouls in the last couple of minutes, I'm sure they won't be upset that we can't open our yellow card graphics!

Macc are probably shading the possession but the Bucks appear to be carrying a threat when they reach the Macc half. Stenson just fails to get the ball to Walker after winning an aerial ball.

A Bucks' free-kick aimed for Stenson is won by the striker but Jamie Meddows can't pick up the pieces.

Macc substitution.

We've had a stoppage, and no. 11, Luke Duffy, can't continue. ON: Justin Johnson. OFF: Luke Duffy.

Gracey saves! Josh gets down well to his right to stop Elliott's effort on the turn, the ball reaching him from Kay's low ball after he got past Fletcher, covering the right-back position. Elliott didn't make the best contact but it had to be saved.

A back pass to Dearnley put him under pressure to kick clear, and the away side are looking reasonably composed here. Walker loses out in a tackle, he and a Macc player grappling with each other, trying to keep possession.

The Bucks construct a good phase of attacking play down the left, Dinanga almost presented a chance by a poor header clear.

The Bucks clear the corner, several players helping the ball on and out of the box.

Cranston concedes a corner, meeting a ball into the box and putting it out to the Macc right.

Cranston makes a good sliding challenge on the 3G pitch, then Solademi sees a chance to stride forward and try to find Walker, but a Macc defender wins the ball to stop the attack.

Dinanga runs into trouble, two men combining to rob him off the ball and they play a quik diagonal for Kay. Meddows keeps him on the touchline, Dyer then joins him and the two win a Bucks throw.

Piggott clears for a corner as a low ball from Kay on the right of the box looks for Elliott. Gracey is cut out by the ball played in, Piggo takes ne chances and then Josh holds the corner at his far post under pressure.

The Bucks turn a quick counterattack into the game's first goal, and Remi Walker advances in a two on one break with Stenson and slips the ball wide of the advancing Dearnley, off the keeper's right post and into the net.

REMI'S 8TH OF THE SEASON!

Walker clears and Sam Heathcote has Stenson breathing down his neck as Matty gives chase.

Piggott heads clear from Elliott's right wing cross, Macc playing through and finding space. It's fairly even so far, both sides looking to be enterprising but doing it conservatively and neither really having control.

The Bucks clear the corner and Walker and Dinanga combine to take the ball from Josh Kay and they counterattack. Dinanga needs support, he is forced to the right and loses possession.

Piggott clears from his near post in front of Gracey after Mellor is played into space behind Cranston to cross low towards Elliott.

David Solademi is penalised for a high boot on Elliott, first contesting a bouncing ball with his head and then trying to hook it away as Elliott chose to dip his head in. The free-kick comes to little for Macc.

The Bucks create a half-chance, finding Remi Walker 15 yards out and central but with his back to goal. he locates Khanya Leshabela and he comes back inside onto his left, on the right of the box, but scuffs his low effort and Max Dearnley has little problem.

Ammar Dyer's foot in turns possession over but Macc skipper Paul Dawson wins it back and the hosts spread the play to the right with a quick diagonal ball in behind Jordan Cranston, who wins out against D'Mani Mellor.

The hosts' Danny Elliott is flagged offside in the bright sunshine that's lighting up the pitch to our right and which could cause issues for Josh Gracey, who shields his eyes to peer into the Macc half.
