But the lead lasted just 11 minutes. With 66 minutes on the clock, a quick free kick move resulted in the equaliser.

Fans were angry as there were hints of offside, as Crawley tried playing an offside trap, which ultimately failed. After that there weren’t many other big chances, with the end of normal time finishing at 2-2.
Extra Time began and the opposition began to really turn the gears up. Simao Costa Brito, who scored the first for vejlbyx, shot from an extremely acute angle, forcing the save from Putnam Couch. Just before the end of the first half of extra time, Crawley had a throw in, pushing lots of player forward, but unfortunately Zubeldia misplaced the throw, giving it straight the the opposition. In order to stop a counter attack, Frenchman Girard Cocard fouled Jorge Bustamante with the studs up, resulting in a red card. Half time of extra time, and both sides were down to 10 men.
Into the second half of extra time, and Putnam Couch performed some unbelievable saves to keep the Reds at 2-2. First came a point blank range save from 5 yards out, which he parried towards Oran ó Callanan. His shot was blocked well by defender Gistin Lodge, who cleared it towards Reds’ midfielder Samarez. However his, clearance went straight to Fabian Jeremies, but Samarez blocked this shot, making up for the poor clearance. Oliver Ratten then picked up the ball and played it to Bustamante who was in the box for vejlbyx and his shot was heading for the bottom left corner, if not for a brilliant save by Couch. However, after play had calmed down, he played it short to Antanas Alexinas, who was off guard, giving the ball to Kola, but he couldn’t get his second of the day, as Couch was called into action once more and made a good save diving down to his left.
With 1 minute left, Crawley surged forwards in search of their last chance and a winning goal. With not many defenders back, Anchor Pace played a brilliant through ball for Kaylan Windass to run onto. Windass shot from about 12 yards out and hit the post, but Triamour Corbet picked up the rebound thundered it in, putting Crawley into the third round of the cup.
