Crawley Town Rallies Late to Defeat Gillingham in League Two Opener
CRAWLEY, England (Interstat) — Crawley Town scored twice deep in second-half stoppage time to secure a 2-0 victory over Gillingham in a League Two match Saturday at Broadfield Stadium.
The game appeared destined for a draw until Taylor Richards broke the deadlock in the 91st minute. Toby Adeyemo sealed the win just two minutes later, capitalizing on a decisive counter-attack.
The result defied a pregame projection from Interstat, which gave Crawley Town a 57% chance to win but simulated a 1-1 draw. Both sides saw multiple players booked, with four yellow cards issued in the second half.
With the win, Crawley Town begins its League Two season with a victory, while Gillingham starts with a loss.
