SHREWSBURY, England (March 21, 2026) (Interstat) — Crewe Alexandra delivered a stunning 4-0 away victory over Shrewsbury Town in a League Two match Saturday at The Croud Meadow, defying pregame projections.

Interstat’s simulator had predicted a 1-1 draw, giving the home side a 56.4% win probability. Crewe dismantled that forecast early, with goalkeeper Matthew Cox scoring an extraordinary goal in the 5th minute. Substitute Josh March added another three minutes later.

March scored again in the 63rd and assisted Emre Tezgel’s 70th-minute goal. Tezgel also had an assist. March and Tezgel received yellow cards, as did Crewe’s Jack Lankester.

The result gives Crewe a 1-0 start in League Two, while Shrewsbury begins 0-1.
