    Salford City 1-1 Hartlepool

    One minute added on, Hartlepool keeper Trevor Carson nearly kicks the ball right over the other goal as the wind picks up. We need that nice graphic you get on the golf. Ball-tracker.

    Dave F, Barnet  If Salford win the cup and play Valencia in the Europa League, which box do the Neville brothers sit in?

    The home side just starting to look a bit tired as we close in on half time. Get that kettle on, open the Jaffa Cakes.

    Tristan,Bradford on Avon: It seems already that we are looking into a future. Hartlepool are playing at Salford's level already!! No offence to any Hartlepool fans by the way...   

    Jon Evans: Great to see O'Halloran scoring. Had promise early in his career but two cruciate injuries took it away from him really.

    Hartlepool's collective passing accuracy so far is 52.3%. To put that into context, the average labrador can find a fellow retriever with a tennis ball about 60% of the time.

    The pitch doesn't help, to be fair. 

  6. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 37 mins

    Salford City 1-1 Hartlepool

    Great delivery! Hartlepool are gifted a corner when Steven Howson fluffs a back-header to his keeper and it is nearly so costly, great ball whipped in and it is flicked onto the top of his own net by a City defender.

    Put it in behind, Salford clip it through again and James Poole sniffs a chance. He nearly gets in behind but Adam Jackson does just enough to lever him off the ball. Foul? Not for me. And given some of the challenges which have gone unpunished, definitely not for referee Gavin Ward!

    "Salford are very much in the ascendancy. Hartlepool are finding it difficult with the conditions to put a real footprint on the game."

    Matthew Bates, once of Midllesbrough, shows his pedigree with a lovely Cruyff-esque turn from centre half as he plays Hartlepool out of danger. But the League Two side can't keep hold of it and again they are on the back foot. Paul Scholes' pre-match claim that there is nothing between these levels is holding up so far. Hartlepool have scored from their one attack, other than that it's been Salford all the way.

    Mark. Glastonbury: That is why non-league teams always have a chance in this cup. That goal was just pure desire. Plain and simple. A very underrated word in football. Well done Salford.

    Salford City 1-1 Hartlepool

    Very nearly a second! Salford clip the ball over the top, a stiff breeze holds it up and allows Danny Webber to get there. He crosses to the front post and that man Gary Stopforth arrives, his header deflected just wide.

    Nicky Butt thought that was in. You're on crutches man! Calm it.

    Salford midfielder Gary Stopforth is the latest man to walk off an impact injury after another bone-shudderer in midfield. This is a real throwback.

    "That will give Salford great belief. It was important that they didn't throw bodies forward and risk leaving themselves too exposed after going behind. They didn't do that and have got their goal."

    Killer knows a thing or two about playing at full-back for the Republic of Ireland and Stephen O'Halloran has got two caps for the boys in green.

    A late dash for Euro 2016?

    "Hartlepool have struggled with a couple of balls played in with pace - and that is another one. 

    "Andy Dawson makes it happen by winning the challenge in the air and Stephen O'Halloran reacts quickest to get across his man. He finished it like any good striker would!"

    You can't say it hasn't been coming! Salford back level with a goal right out of the Big Sam textbook. A deep free-kick to the back post, Andy Dawson nods it down and Stephen O'Halloran reacts first to smash the loose ball home from close range. 

    Ronnie Moore will be livid with that defending.

    TV cameras? Tick. Big crowd? Tick. 

    Heat maps? Tick. You don't get these in the Northern Premier League.

    They might be behind but Salford are certainly pressing. As the two teams' heat maps show (Salford below left, Hartlepool below right), they have had far more of the ball in attacking positions than their opponents.

    "That was a real meaty challenge wasn't it? He was over the top of the ball a bit as well. 

    "If we see that in the Premier League it's at least a yellow card."
