The away side nearly took the lead after six minutes when Billy Clarke struck from outside the box, but Shane Lowry made the block.

Millwall were level seven minutes later, however, when Darren Ward found the corner of the net from close range. Both sides had chances in the latter stages of the half, but it remained level at the interval.

Crawley took the lead once more after 55 minutes, when Adams converted from close range.

Millwall so nearly levelled after 70 minutes when Shaun Batt advanced on goal, but Paul Jones made the save.

The home side did eventually level with five minutes remaining, however, when Batt found the back of the net from close range to level at 2-2.
