Crawley had the better chances as they went in goalless at half-time at home to a good Wrexham side.

The visitors made a bright start and could have had a penalty inside the first 30 seconds when Gareth Taylor flicked the ball on for Matty Wolfenden who appeared to be held back by Chris Giles but still got in a shot which Simon Rayner held.

Crawley had a great chance to break the deadlock in the 17th minute when Ben Smith played a short corner to Simon Rusk whose floated cross was flicked on by Giles to Eddie Hutchinson who blasted over the bar from six yards.

Charles Ademeno was proving to be a handful and he had a good opportunity 12 minutes before the break after being played in behind the defence by Smith. The angle was tight but Ademeno should have hit the target.

A minute before half-time Ademeno helped a free-kick into the dangerzone and Karl Broadhurst swept the ball straight into goalkeeper Sam Russell's midriff from six yards.
