Ibrahim Meite scored the first goal of his professional career to earn Crawley a deserved draw at Stevenage last night (Tuesday 12 September)

Meite livened up a dull first half by charging through the middle before his rising effort was tipped over by Stevenage keeper Joe Fryer
.
That save proved crucial, as Boro took the lead a minute later when Dan Newton beat a couple of players before finding the net via the post from just outside the area.

But Crawley drew level four minutes into the second half as Meite found the far corner of the Stevenage Net with a fine finish.
