Crawley Town 1-0 Barrow RECAP: Kwesi Appiah’s goal earns Reds a third successive home win in first match since US cryptocurrency takeover
(68) John Rooney, the younger brother of England and Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney, has just been booked for a heavy challenge on Will Ferry.
Big chance!
(62) A huge chance for Crawley to double their lead as Appiah breaks free. Barrow manage to stop the forward but the ball reaches James Tilley in acres of space.
He scuffs his shot and falls to the turf hurt.
GOAL! Crawley 1-0 Barrow - Kwesi Appiah (57)
Great goal!
Appiah makes no mistake this time as he places a delightful finish past Farman with the outside of his boot.
It came after great work from Will Ferry out on the left.
(55) The resulting corner is a great one but Appiah now has his head in his hands as he misses a great chance at the back post.
(54) Nichols wins a corner with a shot from distance but Appiah was in space and is unhappy that he wasn’t played in.
(58) How has that stayed out?
Jack Payne hits a powerful shot at goal which is blocked before Francomb drives it on target from a tight angle and Farman makes a great reaction save to keep it out.
There were shouts for a handball after Payne’s initial shot but nothing given.
