Chesterfield's seven-game winning streak in 2024 came to an end on Saturday, as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Ebbsfleet. The visitors took the lead after just 41 seconds, with Rakish Bingham scoring a brilliant goal from the edge of the box. Chesterfield equalized through Will Grigg, before taking the lead with a goal from Armando Dobra. However, Ebbsfleet changed their formation to 4-5-1 at halftime and managed to get back on level terms, with Ben Chapman scoring the equalizing goal. The draw ended Chesterfield's perfect league record in 2024, and was a deserved point for Ebbsfleet, who had been the better team in the opening half-hour. Interim head coach Danny Searle named an unchanged team for the match, and his side started strongly, with Toby Edser running from halfway and shooting over the bar from an angle. Chesterfield's left-back Branden Horton started to create problems for the visitors, but Ebbsfleet's keeper Mark Cousins made several important saves to deny the hosts. The match was an entertaining one, with both teams creating chances and neither able to gain a clear advantage. In the end, the draw was a fair result, with both teams taking a point from the match. Chesterfield's manager will be disappointed that his team was unable to take all three points, but he will be pleased with the performance of his players, who worked hard to try and win the game. Ebbsfleet's players will also be happy with their point, which takes them a step closer to safety. The result will have implications for the league table, with Chesterfield still top but Ebbsfleet moving closer to the teams above them.
