Hartlepool United's 100 per-cent record came to a cruel end at Victoria Park on Saturday.
Chris Turner's men were defeated by two quick-fire Macclesfield goals in the last ten minutes to condemn Pools to their first defeat of the season.
The Silkmen grabbed their first goal in the 83rd minute when sub John Askey's right-foot cross was headed beyond keeper Anthony Williams by Danny Adams.
A minute later Danny Whitaker pounced on to Lee Glover's through ball to clinch victory.
