Match ends, Macclesfield Town 2, Dartford 0.
Macclesfield kept their play-off ambitions on track by beating already-relegated Dartford as both sides finished with 10 men.
Lee Bell opened the scoring, firing through a crowded penalty area to find the bottom corner.
Thierry Audel made sure of the result when he was allowed to poke in a loose ball from 12 yards.
Macclesfield's George Pilkington was later sent off, before Nathan Green was given a second yellow for a bad tackle.
