Crowland even missed a penalty but Harry Grigas, Samuel Leggatt, Archie Rickards and Matthew Smith earned them a fourth win out of four.
Amato was shown a second red card of the day after the final whistle.
Also on four wins are Moulton Harrox, a Louis Steadman goal enough to give them a 1-0 victory at home to Leverington Sports on Tuesday night.
At the other end of the table, Holbeach United Reserves picked up their first win of the season to leave Tydd still searching for their first point.
