Joseph Wollacott’s Penalty Save Propels Crawley Town to EFL Cup Second Round

Black Stars goalkeeper Joseph Wollacott delivered a stellar performance on Tuesday night, playing a key role in Crawley Town’s 4-2 victory over Swindon Town in the first round of the EFL Cup.

Wollacott, starting in goal, made a crucial penalty save that kept Crawley ahead in the match. After Ade Adeyemo equalized for Crawley in the first half, Jack Roles extended the lead in the second half with a well-placed goal.

Swindon fought back, with Nnamdi Ofoborh reducing the deficit to 2-1. However, when Swindon was awarded a penalty, Wollacott denied Will Wright from the spot, preserving Crawley’s advantage. Although Harry Smith managed to score from the resulting corner, Crawley regained control with additional goals from Jack Roles and Rafiq Khaleel, securing the win.

With this victory, Wollacott and his team advance to the second round of the EFL Cup, continuing their campaign in the competition.
