Manchester United U One of the chances went to Smith. Just like in the first half he hit a volley heading for a goal, only to be blocked by the lanky body of John O'Shea.
Crawley then copied United with a penalty shout. But like United, no penalty was awarded. If it weren't for last ditch clearances and interceptions by the United back four, Crawley could have easily have been close to pegging United back.
In a rampage of an attack, Crawley had a handful of chances within 20 seconds. A cross was whipped in, three shots got blocked until it bounced high enough for an attempt of an over head kick that went inches over the crossbar.
It was easily the closest chance for the vistors so far. They then had a well placed free kick 25 yards out. It didn't quite come off, as the free kick taker slipped and spooned the ball over the goal. Both teams had similar chances, none of which ended in a goal.

And then, in the frantic final moments, substitute Brodie's header bounced agonisingly back off the bar. But there was only pride in defeat for admirable Crawley as Old Trafford showed its appreciation of their efforts at the final whistle.
