Rylands, whose 12-game unbeaten run came to an end in midweek, started brightly and went close to opening the scoring in the third minute.
A Harrison Hopper through-ball split the Macclesfield defence wide open, but Alex Kiwomya's shot was blocked by the feet of Macclesfield goalkeeper Max Dearnley. The rebound fell to Jake Daniels, who sent his shot from the edge of the area over the bar.
Rylands broke the deadlock in the 11th minute when a Ben Hardcastle cross found George Waring, who stooped to head home from close range.

The advantage did not last long. Luke Duffy was fouled as he entered the penalty area, and Danny Elliott converted the 15th minute spot kick to level the scores.
As the action switched from end to end, both teams had their chances to score before the half time break. Daniels had a shot deflected wide, while a Kiwomya header was scrambled off the Macclesfield goal-line.
