Colchester Edges Out Ten-Man Crewe in Tense Encounter at JobServe Community Stadium
Colchester United secured a hard-fought victory against a depleted Crewe Alexandra side at the JobServe Community Stadium in Colchester, Essex on April 18th, 2025. The League Two match, round 43 of the regular season, saw Colchester dominate possession (61%) and shots (18 shots, 4 on target), but struggled to convert their chances. Crewe, meanwhile, suffered from a sending-off and a flurry of yellow cards in the second half. O. Lunt received a red card in the 45th minute, while Billington, Long, Williams, and Marschall all received yellow cards. Despite their dominance in possession and shots, Colchester only managed to score after Read missed a penalty in the 87th minute. Crewe, with only two shots (one on target), displayed a significant lack of attacking efficiency.
