- 40' The England Harry Pickering breaks the deadlock on 40 minutes. 2-0!

- 81' A tactical swap from Wigan Athletic FC — Charlie Jolley on, Will Keane off on 81 minutes.
- 86' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Lee Evans suffering a number of foals already.
- The points are shared — Crewe Alexandra FC 3-0 Wigan Athletic FC. Honours even.
