Arthur Gnahoua scored a late winner to complete a second-half comeback as 10-man Macclesfield edged a 2-1 Sky Bet League Two victory over Forest Green.
The striker looped in an incredible goal with seven minutes to play to give Mark Kennedy his first win as head coach.
Joe Ironside had scored the equaliser with Macclesfield's first shot on target 15 minutes from time and Gnahoua netted the second just after they had been reduced to 10 men following Corey O'Keeffe's red card.
Forest Green barely had to get out of second gear in the first half, but led thanks to Carl Winchester's 18th-minute strike, driven in from 25 yards for only his second goal of the season.
Jevani Brown should have doubled the lead midway through the half when clean through but he scuffed his effort wide.
Josh March wasted Forest Green's best chance from the penalty spot, two minutes into the second half. Having been fouled by O'Keeffe himself he saw his spot-kick palmed away by Jonathan Mitchell.
And those glaring misses came back to haunt Rovers as Ironside drilled in the equaliser.
O'Keeffe's game ended 10 minutes from time after he hacked down March charging through but, shortly after, Gnahoua produced his moment of magic to stun Rovers.
