Still in seventh, Scott Lindsey’s side have two games remaining to secure their League Two play-off place.

Corey Addai (7) - After a great save to deny Dom Telford from close range in the first period, Addai’s finest moment came late in the second-half when pulling off a superb triple save - the second of which was the most impressive to deny Barrow from close range on the rebound of an initial header against the post.

Will Wright (7) - Whilst he would have liked a clean sheet, Wright more than played his part in a battling Crawley display to keep Barrow relatively quiet.

Laurence Maguire (7) - Like his centre-back partners, Maguire’s performance was worthy of the clean sheet he would have earned but for Acquah’s superb and clinical effort in the first half.

Dion Conroy (8) - Led well at the back, stepping in ahead of Emile Aqcuah on more than one occasion, but could do nothing to prevent the forward’s leaping header to open the scoring in an otherwise solid display.

Ade Adeyemo (8) - Crawley’s most threatening player, Adeyemo was rarely wasteful on the ball and would have found himself on the scoresheet in the first-half, but for his volley inside the area to be denied by an in-form Farman.

Liam Kelly (7) - Like Williams, Kelly kept things ticking over in the middle of the park as a solid outlet for the likes of Conroy and Maguire to particularly drive Crawley forward in the second-half.

Jay Williams (7) - The midfielder remained press resistant as ever in the middle of the park, yet it is his 15th booking of the season that will control the narrative of his evening, given that he will now miss the last two games of the season in pursuit of securing a place in the play-offs.

Harry Forster (7) - One of Crawley’s most dangerous players, Forster remained a consistent outlet, albeit without finding a way past Farman with his efforts at goal from range in the second-half.

Jeremy Kelly (6) - A difficult evening for Kelly, who saw plenty of the ball without showing much conviction at times in an uncharacteristically quiet display.

Klaidi Lolos (7) - Often the driving force with his deep runs in behind, Lolos was involved in Crawley’s best chances, which forced Paul Farman into action twice. He was then finally rewarded for his efforts in the second period when his saved effort forced a penalty, which Orsi converted to equalise.

Danilo Orsi (7) - Like any good striker, Orsi simply waited for his chance and took it in clinical fashion even if service remained few and far between in the first hour. Stepping up to the spot, the forward made no mistake to equalise with his 20th goal of the season.

Substitutes:

Adam Campbell (53’ Jeremey Kelly) (6) - Did well to help Crawley pile on the pressure from the bench and soon equalise, before the Reds failed to find a winner.

Jack Roles (Jay Williams 58’) (6) - Handed Crawley plenty of attacking intent and very nearly became a super sub after breaking in behind, only to see his pass across the six-yard box cleared well.

Ronan Darcy (Ade Adeyemo 80’) (6) - As Crawley piled on the pressure, Darcy only added to things late on in a solid cameo from the bench.
