Tranmere threatened first with Tom Ince dragging a long-range shot wide of goal from 25 yards, while Harrison Male made an unbelievable one-handed save to deny Exeter’s Josh Gordon, who connected well to a Reece Cole free-kick.<\/p>\n
Chances were few and far between, but a mistake in the Grecians’ defence led to an opportunity for Ince, who was thwarted as Jack Bycroft made himself big in the Exeter goal.<\/p>\n
The best chance of the game fell to Ince just before half-time, but he was again off target with only Bycroft to beat.<\/p>\n
The second half was much the same with few chances for either side. Cole’s free-kick was straight at Male 20 minutes from time, while Ed James was off target with a shot from distance for the home side.<\/p>\n
James was then denied by Male after powering a header goalwards that the goalkeeper palmed over the bar, but that was as good as it got in an instantly forgettable encounter.<\/p>\n
