Macclesfield Town claimed a convincing 2-0 away victory against Curzon Ashton FC in the English Conference North Division. In a match where clinical finishing made the difference, Macclesfield's efficiency in front of goal and a solid defensive structure proved too much for the hosts, strengthening their position in the upper echelons of the league. The first half was a tight, physical contest with both teams canceling each other out in midfield. The deadlock was broken just before halftime, somewhat against the run of play, as Macclesfield Town capitalized on a defensive mistake to slot home a simple finish. Curzon Ashton came out with more urgency in the second half but were caught on the break as Macclesfield sealed the points with a superb second goal around the 70-minute mark, a curling effort from the edge of the box finding the top corner. The visitors then professionally saw out the remainder of the game, dealing comfortably with Curzon's attempts to get back into the match and securing a valuable clean sheet on the road.
