Rochdale 1-1 Macclesfield

Rochdale were denied a fifth straight victory as Macclesfield earn a draw courtesy of Nat Brown.

Tom Kennedy's free-kick was headed towards his own goal by Terry Dunfield but Macclesfield goalkeeper Jon Brain palmed the ball behind for a corner.

But the Silkmen levelled when Izak Reid's excellent cross into the area was met by a powerful Brown header.
