York City 0 - 2 Crawley Town FT
Gianmarco Di Biase and Danilo Orsi were on target as Crawley won at promoted York in the preliminary round of the Carabao Cup.
The victory also consigned Scott Lindsey, who was sacked by the Red Devils in March, to a defeat during his first game in charge of the Minstermen.
Italian winger Di Biase, signed from Juventus in the summer, opening the scoring in the 24th minute, rounding off a swift counter-attack by tapping in after Kellan Gordon had raced down the right flank and delivered an inviting low cross.
York's on-loan Fulham goalkeeper Alfie McNally then made a smart save from Malcolm Ebiowei to prevent his side from falling further behind.
Stephen Duke-McKenna hit the base of the post for the visitors in the second half before the hosts were also denied by the woodwork when Zech Medley's volley thudded against the underside of the crossbar following Alex Hunt's corner.
But substitute Orsi settled the outcome from the penalty spot in the 86th minute, slotting home as McNally dived to his left after Louie Watson had been upended by Zak Johnson in the box.
Home fans chanted "Stuart Maynard's Barmy Army" and "We Want Maynard Back" towards the end of the game, venting their continued dismay at the dismissal of last season's championship-winning manager on the eve of the new campaign.
Crawley now travel to Championship side Watford in the competition's first round on Saturday.
