A late goal saw Gateshead settle for a point at Altrincham in Carl Magnay’s opening game as manager.
The Heed came from behind to lead at half time, with Tom Crawford’s penalty preceding strikes from Jacob Butterfield and Owen Oseni, before Alex Newby’s rebound saw the spoils shared.
Magnay drafted Tiernan Brooks, Ben Radcliffe, Dan Jones, Charlie Colkett and Jacob Butterfield back in the starting 11 for the first game of his managerial tenure at the J. Davidson Stadium, though it was the hosts who started on the front foot.
Altrincham’s positive start led to the opener with 20 minutes on the clock, with Crawford converting from the penalty spot after a cross was judged to have struck Luke Hannant’s out-stretched arm in the box.
The home side’s lead lasted only 12 minutes though, with Butterfield drawing Gateshead level when he struck past Ethan Ross at the near post from the edge of the penalty area.
Magnay’s side took the lead eight minutes later through Oseni’s fifth league goal of the season, with the forward slotting past Ross after Callum Whelan’s first-time back-heel sent him through in the box.
The Heed maintained control of proceedings after the break, and could have gone further ahead but for Ross’ save from Colkett’s low strike before Butterfield rolled a 20-yard effort just wide.
Oseni came close to notching his second of the game when Jones headed down to him at the far post, but the forward’s first-time flick just evaded the far corner of Ross’ net.
Gateshead’s number nine would go close again with 80 minutes on the clock when he sent a right-footed shot wide of Ross’ far post from inside the box, and it would be Altrincham who struck next with four minutes to go.
Eddy Jones’ lofted ball into the box caused a scramble in front of Brooks’ goal, with an initial effort blocked before Newby was able to bundle the rebound over the line to equalise and see the points shared.
