That equaliser gave the visitors momentum, though neither team could force a late winner. The game saw five bookings, starting with Kyle Dempsey as early as the 5th minute.
Port Vale edged possession with 51% and had nine shots to Tranmere's six, but both sides managed four shots on target. The goalkeepers each made three saves and both teams created two big chances, underlining how evenly matched the contest was.
