Chesterfield could have gotten off to a dream start when Liam Mandeville was tripped in the box and the referee pointed to the spot. But Bonis then rattled the post from the penalty spot.
Notts County took advantage just before the half-hour mark, as Tom Iorpenda fed a cross in for Luker to finish at the back post.
And that would prove to be the crucial moment in the first half of this tie.
