Events
Match Events

- 29' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 29 minutes.
- 34' Cambridge United FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 39' Crawley Town FC is showing some good football. However, Crawley Town FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

- 45' A moment of madness from Max Anderson on 45 minutes earns him a card. Crawley Town FC will be frustrated.
- 49' The referee calls foul for Sullay Kaikai. He receives a card.
- 50' The referee has no hesitation. Toby Mullarkey is booked for Crawley Town FC — card on 50.
- 52' That looks like a foul for a card for Shayne Lavery.
