The local matched the action and even had a chance to tie with a shot at the post, a maneuver that would be repeated in the opposite arc within a few minutes by Bamford’s left-footed shot. The first half was dying when Kalvin Philips He hung the ball from the corner with a free kick to the edge of the area and stretched the lead on the way to the locker room.
The Whites (dressed in their alternative gray and pink uniform on the rainy afternoon in Lancashire) they started the complement asleep and it was Adan Armstrong who did not want to be less with a magnificent execution of a stopped ball at 2 ′. But the suspense was short-lived because the Polish Klich converted at 8 ′ of the final stage and brought tranquility to Crazy with a 3-1 that would no longer move.
