Daniel and Bencherif score for Silkmen before Hanson and Williams reply for Bantams

Deja'vu struck at Macclesfield as they conceded a two-goal lead for the second successive week in a 2-2 draw with Bradford. The Silkmen took the lead on four minutes when Junior Daniel scored his first goal for the club in 24 appearances when he stole between static defenders to nod a long clearance from keeper Jon Brain over Bantams' number one Simon Eastwood. The home side's Ross Draper then saw a six-yard snapshot cleared off the line by Luke O'Brien before the Silkmen extended their lead in the 41st minute through Hamza Bencherif, who converted a low Emile Sinclair cross for his fifth goal of the season. But Stuart McCall's side struck back in the second period with two goals in eight minutes. In the 58th minute giant centre forward James Hanson headed a James O'Brien corner back into the far corner. Then on 66 minutes Brain could only parry a long-range Michael Flynn shot into the path of Steve Williams who drilled home from six yards. In the dying moments Ben Wright nodded a header against the post for Macclesfield while Gareth Evans saw a deflected shot clip the cross bar for battling Bradford.
