Lewis Cass' early red card made it an uphill task for Pools but they were still able to go ahead through Rhys Oates after 33-minutes.

Altrincham drew level on the stroke of half-time as Ryan Colclough’s powerful drive from distance was parried in by Ben Killip.

Pools climb up to second as a result but miss the opportunity to go top of the table.
