Carlisle 0-0 Port Vale: Cumbrians see play-off hopes dented at Brunton Park
Saturday 17 April 2021 17:06, UK
Carlisle's play-off hopes suffered a blow after playing out a goalless draw against in-form Port Vale.
Vale were bidding to record a seventh successive league win for the first time since 1893 but both sides had to settle for a point after a stalemate at Brunton Park.
And it leaves Chris Beech's Cumbrians two points off the coveted top seven.
It was a game devoid of any real chances as both attacks toiled.
Vale top scorer Devante Rodney squandered a first-half header before visiting captain Leon Legge nodded David Amoo's cross wide after the break.
