Macclesfield boss Keith Alexander enjoyed his first victory as his visiting side beat Dagenham 1-0 courtesy of Francis Green's late goal.Green had only been on the pitch a matter of moments when he picked up the ball and cut inside the box before producing a precise finish in the 72nd minute.

Town were indebted to goalkeeper Jonny Brain after he saved Dave Rainford's penalty in the 58th minute and then superbly turned over Jon Nurse's left-footed drive.

The Town stopper preserved his side's precious away victory when he blocked Christopher Moore's close-range effort in the closing stages.

Relegation-threatened Town had hardly troubled home goalkeeper Tony Roberts though Gareth Evans did have a first-half strike ruled out for an infringement.
