Macclesfield 0-0 Walsall

Ten-man Walsall held on to earn an FA Cup first-round replay against struggling Macclesfield.

The home side looked the more dangerous in the opening 20 minutes with John Murphy blasting over the bar and Simon Wiles putting in some telling crosses.

Hector Sam twice broke clear for Walsall, but could not find the target.

Craig Pead was sent off in the 80th minute for a shin high challenge on Martin Bullock, but Paul Ince's side were unable to capitalise.
