Theo Archibald was the closest to scoring in the first half as his effort smashed against the crossbar leaving Macclesfield fans in despair.

Macc hit the bar yet again moments later, as Morecambe goalkeeper Barry Roche pushed Fiacre Kelleher's powerful header onto the crossbar in an exciting few moments at Moss Rose.

After being under pressure by constant attack from the home side, Sutton put the Shrimps ahead in the 64th minute following an accurate cross from Steven Old.

Shortly after, Morecambe almost scored again as Shaun Miller was unlucky to see his effort hit the post after rounding Macclesfield goalkeeper Owen Evans.
