Watford FC 1:0 Crawley Town — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Marc Bola scored in the 90th minute as Watford edged Crawley Town 1-0 in the EFL Cup Round 1, with Crawley goalkeeper Vito Mannone the standout performer despite the defeat. The late winner spared Watford an embarrassing exit against a League Two side that had defended resolutely for the entire contest.

The match was a tale of sustained pressure against stubborn resistance, with Watford's Edoardo Bove and Iker Bravo both booked in a first half they dominated without reward. Crawley's Charlie Barker and Kellan Gordon followed into the book before the hour, and just as extra time loomed, Bola finally breached Mannone's goal, with Pemi Aderoju seeing yellow in the immediate aftermath of the decisive moment.

Watford controlled the numbers with 61 per cent possession and 36 shots to Crawley's nine, yet the xG read 0.00 for both sides, and the visitors might feel aggrieved to have lost on such efficiency. Mannone earned his 9.5 rating in goal, the highest of any player, for a display that kept his side in the tie until the final whistle. CheckLive's model rated Watford marginally ahead, and the result confirmed it, though the live signal backing Crawley at 2.88 lost.
