Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Broadfield Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Crawley Town FC and Blackpool FC.
  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' Daniel Grimshaw has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 444 appearances.
  • 15' Scotland international Kyle Joseph has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 16' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Rushian Hepburn-Murphy makes it 1-0.
  • 21' Blackpool FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 21.
  • 26' Robert Apter is a natural forward and has been asked to do a very specific job for Crawley Town FC tonight.
  • 31' The 32-year-old James Husband has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 33' Goal! Junior Quitirna scores his 13 goal in 386 matches.
  • 35' The referee shows Blackpool FC player a card on 35.
  • 38' That looks like a foul for a card for Joe Wollacott.
  • 43' The home supporters are growing impatient. Crawley Town FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 48' Both keepers have barely been tested. Crawley Town FC and Blackpool FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 53' Blackpool FC is showing some good football. However, Blackpool FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

  • 71' It’s a booking for Crawley Town FC player. Panutche Camara gets a card.
  • 73' The referee calls foul for James Husband. He receives a card.
  • 74' A goal from the England international Ashley Fletcher! He fires home on 74 to make it 2-1!
  • 78' Crawley Town FC make a change. Ronan Darcy trudges off to be replaced by Jack Roles on 78 minutes.
  • 83' Robert Apter has so much to prove this time. He replaces Hayden Coulson on 83 minute.
  • 88' Toby Mullarkey has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 88.
  • Crawley Town FC celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
