Salford held to a goalless draw by Rochdale at the Peninsula Stadium
Posted Wednesday, October 20, 2021 by PA
Salford City and Rochdale shared the spoils as their first ever league derby ended 0-0.
The Ammies, looking for a second successive home win in the space of four days, started promisingly with a Conor McAleny effort narrowly wide of the target early on.
Brandon Thomas-Asante then produced the first shot on target when his powerful low strike forced a smart save from Dale stopper Joel Colman.
Salford should have taken advantage of their first half dominance shortly before the interval, but both Matty Willock and McAleny failed to convert.
A reinvigorated Rochdale sparked to life after the restart with George Broadbent spurning a glorious chance for an opener, while Conor Ripley was twice drawn into action.
Inspired by the influential Ash Hunter, the home side returned into the ascendency with Thomas-Asante again testing Coleman and Tom Elliott heading narrowly over the target.
Former Ammie Jake Beesley had an opportunity to snatch a late winner but ultimately neither side could break the deadlock.
