Goalkeepers on top as Guiseley and Accrington draw FA Cup tie
Posted Monday, November 06, 2017 by PA
Guiseley and Accrington Stanley will have do it all again after their FA Cup first round encounter at Nethermoor Park ended in a 0-0 draw.
The best chances fell to the National League side on a day where goalkeepers were on top.
Accrington's Aaron Chapman denied Kayode Odejayi with a fingertip save just 20 minutes into the match, before somehow clawing away Jake Lawlor's header soon after.
Accrington's best chance came within the first two minutes when Kayden Jackson somehow fired over the bar from six yards after a clever header back across goal from Mark Hughes.
Despite plenty of pressure from the League Two side during the second half, the visitors failed to create too many meaningful chances, their best coming via Guiseley defender Chris M'Boungou whose misguided clearance forced team-mate Jonny Maxted into a brilliant reaction save with 20 minutes to go.
Mike Fondop almost won it in the second of three added minutes, but Chapman was once again on alert to tip wide his curling effort to ensure a replay.
