Paul Ince's former club looked like picking up all three points after fighting back from a goal down to go 3-1 up.

But a late rally from the Dons, which saw Colin Cameron score his first goal for the club five minutes into stoppage time meant the points were shared.

The Dons dominated the first half and skipper Keith Andrews opened the scoring on 20 minutes with a low swerving 25 yard drive that keeper Tommy Lee could only push in to the corner of the goal.

But Francis Green got Macclesfield back on level terms on 33 minutes.

He raced clean through after Sean O'Hanlon failed to clear a long ball and lobbed Willy Gueret.

Macclesfield took the lead on 57 minutes when substitute Martin Gritton rammed in from close range. He had been on the pitch just three minutes when he scored after Luke Dimech's free header from a Kevin Mcintrye free kick was well saved by Gueret.

Green then completed his brace six minutes later with a curling 25 yard strike that caught out an out of position Gueret.

Leon Knight gave the Dons hope on 73 minutes when he smashed in from nine yards after the ball broke kindly for him in the box.

It was almost in vain as Green nearly completed his hat-trick immediately after with a fierce 15 yard drive that came off the underside of the bar.

And that miss was to cost Macclesfield when Colin Cameron dramatically equalised five minutes into stoppage time.

It came after O'Hanlon hit the bar from a Jude Stirling throw, Andrews layed the ball back to the veteran midfielder who smashed it into the top corner from 22 yards.
