Crawley Town has secured promotion to League One after beating Crewe Alexandra 2-0 in the League Two play-off final at Wembley. Danilo Orsi scored the opening goal in the first half.
What happened at Wembley?
Crawley Town dominated the game with their possession-heavy football, smothering Crewe Alexandra. Orsi danced through the Crewe defence to prod Crawley ahead.
Key players in the win
Liam Kelly scored Crawley's second goal from a tight angle, putting the game to bed late in the second half. Corey Addai made crucial saves, including a well-timed tackle on Chris Long.
Road to promotion
Crawley Town's boss Scott Lindsey has had a significant impact since joining the club in January 2023. He assembled and refined a squad made of rare finds and diamonds in the rough, including Orsi and Kelly. Orsi has thrived in Lindsey's side, overcoming adversity on his way to a starring role at Wembley.
