Zanzala Penalty Sees Alex Defeat Cardiff In U23 Action

|

Offrande Zanzala‘s penalty 9 minutes from time was enough for Crewe Alexandra to defeat Cardiff City at the Alexandra Stadium this afternoon – a result that sees the Alex move into 3rd place in the Northern group.

Manager Alex Morris named Dave Richards in goal with a back 4 of Travis Johnson, Billy Sass-Davies, Olly Lancashire and Eddie Nolan. In front of them was a midfield 3 of Rio Adebisi, Regan Griffiths and Nathan Woodthorpe with Tyreece Onyeka and Bailey Marsden playing either side of Zanzala. The Alex subs were goalkeeper Sam Booth, Joe Levey, Joel Tabinor, Matt McDonald and Fenton Green.

The next scheduled games (assuming that the season doesn’t stop for the second wave of lockdown) for the Alex at this level will be a trip to Millwall a week on Tuesday (10th, 2:00pm kick-off) before a home game against Hull City at the Alexandra Stadium on the 22nd (1:00pm).

Crewe: Richards; Johnson, Sass-Davies, Lancashire, Nolan; Adebisi, Griffiths, Woodthorpe; Onyeka, Zanzala, Marsden

Cardiff: Ratcliffe, Margetson, Martin, D’Almeida, Denham, Bodenham, Davies, Pritchard, Zimba, Dowu, Evans
