Although both sides had chances, the first half did not see many attacking moves from either side and the score was still goalless at half time.

Eberechi Eze broke the deadlock in the fiftieth minute with a right footed shot from the centre of the box which found the bottom left corner of the Crawley goal.

From that point on Wycombe were the more dominant team. Wycombe scored a second in the seventy second minute when Craig Mackail-Smith shot into the top left corner.

Craig Mackail-Smith hammered home a third goal for Wycombe in the eighty first minute when his shot from outside the box sailed into the top right corner of the goal.

Two minutes later, in the eighty third minute, Craig Mackail-Smith completed a hat-trick this time the ball found the bottom right corner of the goal.
