Pools went behind when Luke Norris converted from the spot after Gary Liddle brought down Jamie Reid.
But Graeme Lee’s side grabbed a point when captain Nicky Featherstone found the back of the net with an excellent finish 13 minutes from time.
The home side were unable to find a winner though as they had to settle for a third straight draw at the Suit Direct Stadium.
And here is how they were rated.

Fairly comfortable afternoon with little to deal with in the main. Went the wrong way for the spot kick. Picture by FRANK REID.

Perhaps Pools’ best outlet in the first half with plenty of time and space on the right. Not as effective in the second half. Missed two good chances. (Credit: Will Matthews | MI News)

Did what he had to do pretty well. Marshalled a back three when Liddle went off. (Credit: Mark Fletcher | MI News)
