Macc 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.[LNB]Macc midfield man Ross Draper then saw a six-yard snap shot cleared off the line by Luke O'Brien before they extended their lead in the 41st minute through Hamza Bencherif, who converted a low Emile Sinclair cross for his fifth goal of the season.[LNB]But Bradford struck back in the second half 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.[LNB]Then on 66 minutes Brain could only parry a long-range Michael Flynn shot into the path of Williams, who drilled home from six yards.[LNB]In the dying moments Ben Wright nodded a header against the post for Macclesfield with Gareth Evans deep in injury time seeing a deflected shot clip the crossbar for battling Bradford.[LNB][LNB]
