Crawley Town displayed commendable efficiency in the scoring department, netting two goals from limited opportunities. Despite fewer attempts, they maximized their chances, leading to their victory. The opening goal came relatively early in the first half, at 22 minutes and 28 seconds, giving Crawley Town the momentum. Harrogate Town AFC managed to answer back almost immediately, equalizing just six seconds into the match. This is evidence of a team determined and quick to recover mentally. The deciding goal, however, was scored by Crawley Town at 71 minutes 10 seconds into the second half, securing the victory for the home team.

Crawley Town received the first yellow card at 60 minutes 26 seconds, with subsequent cards at 78 minutes 33 seconds, and 92 minutes 51 seconds.
