    Macaulay Langstaff drags a shot wide!

    The Notts County striker and National League Player of the year, is through on goal on the nearside edge of the box, but he hits it first time and it rolls across the face of goal and wide.

    If only he had looked up and taken a touch.

    Notts County with it all to do now - again.

    As I say that here come Chesterfield again.

    Armando Dobra into the box on the far left side but he is blocked by John Bostock.

    That is a quality finish.

    Is extra time going to mirror what we saw in the 90 minutes where Chesterfield take an early lead and Notts have it all to do?

    Cometh the hour, cometh the man.

    He curls it into the top bin. That is fantastic from Armando Dobra.

    Now they need to go on and win it.

    Armando Dobra

    Chesterfield are back in front and what an unbelievable goal from Armando Dobra.

    From the left channel, working in space, dribbling toward the Notts County box, he switches the ball from his left to his right and curls it into the top far corner.

    Pure quality.

    Well, well, well ....

    What unbelievable drama at the end or normal time.

    Which one of these two battle weary teams has the stamina to see this game out?

    The only voices we could hear during that 90 minutes were the Spireites fans despite being outnumbered by the Notts County fans.

    They've been absolutely superb.

    The performance improved during the second half but Chesterfield kept Notts at arms length.

    But then that free kick fro John Bostock is the reason we're going to a very nervy extra time.

    Phew. What a finish to the 90 minutes.

    We're going to extra time, folks. John Bostock's dramatic late equaliser means we've got another half an hour to go and possibly penalties.

    The National League, eh? What drama.

    Notts County need to dig-in here because Chesterfield are all of a sudden back on the attack.

    Seconds left.

    Here come Chesterfield charging into the Notts County box.

    I couldn't quite tell who was on the ball (too much adrenalin pumping around my body) but Connell Rawlinson made a crucial sliding block to repel the shot.

    How has that gone in? Only Ross Fitzsimons will know.

    It is a footballing howler. Do we deserve it? Probably not. But what a moment.

    Two goalkeepers have gifted goals in this game.

    He's had one save to make in the first half and now it's gone in the net.

    Ross Fitzsimons has got to save that.

    The equaliser!

    John Bostock scores from a free kick on the far side of the pitch.

    Everyone thought he was going to cross it.

    But he sends a low stinger to the near post and keeper Ross Fitzsimons can only get a hand on the ball.

    Game on!

    What is the Notts County keeper doing?

    A poor pass out from his own area is intercepted by Liam Mandeville.

    Luckily for the Magpies he sends the ball blazing over the bar.

    It's just not working at the moment for Notts County.

    Their fans look absolutely stunned about what's happening but there's still a long way to go.

    Matt Palmer and and Jodi Jones stand either side of the ball.

    The Chesterfield keeper Ross Fitzsimons is off his line as one of his defenders slips over in the box.

    Jones runs over the ball.

    Palmer pauses .... and send a looping cross well long and out of play.

    Notts would take anything at the moment to find an equaliser and extend their season.

    Opportunity here for Notts County to put a dangerous ball into the box.

    They have a free kick on the near side about 10 yards outside the box.
