Zaine Francis-Angol cleared the ball off the line early on at Boundary Park and Mark Shelton hit the post for Pools but that was as close of both sides came during a match of low quality in Greater Manchester.
The result sees Pools drop to sixth.

9. Luke Molyneux - 5
Showed glimpses around the penalty area but just lacked a bit of conviction when on the ball. Photo: Mark Fletcher
10. Fela Olomola - 4
Was wasteful in possession with his first touch often letting him down. Kept going prior to his substitution but just not his afternoon. Photo: Mark Fletcher
11. Mike Fondop - 6
Won a few headers well but the ball didn't stick to him well enough in the first. Had a few half chances, including a spectacular overhead kick but failed to test the goalkeeper. Made some solid defensive contributions. Photo: HUFC
