Stockport 2 AFC Telford 2

AFC Telford United blew a two-goal lead away at Stockport County in a frantic game that saw midfielder Phil Trainer sent off.

The Bucks opened the scoring on 16 minutes, Kyle Perry whipping in a cross from the right that Stockport defender Carl Piergianni could only flick into the path of Chris sharp - and he made no mistake from close range.

Steve Jones added the second on 34 minutes, a fine solo effort as he picked the ball up in midfield, broke into the area and shrugged off two challenges before nonchalantly flicking his shot past keeper Ian Ormson.

But Telford's Achilles heel came back to haunt them as they conceded two second half goals from corners.

Danny O'Donnell brought the hosts back into it on 67 minutes then - after Trainer was dismissed for two bookings in a minute - Piergianni headed the equaliser on 83 minutes.
