  Wrexham dominated proceedings right from the off and had won several set-pieces, but they failed to capitalise on the chances. Lee had the best opportunity of the game to break the deadlock in the 15th minute when Oliver Rathbone kept a perfect cross across the goal. Elliot Lee slid inside the box but failed to get a touch. The worsening weather conditions did not help either of the teams as the strong wins and rainfall affected the quality of the game.

  Lee made up for his earlier miss as he finally scored the opener with a world-class strike in the 65th minute. The midfielder curled in a brilliant corner as the ball hit the top half of the far post and directly went in. It was a well-deserved goal for the Red Dragons who dominated the match for more than an hour.

  Rathbone could have doubled the visitors' lead in the 89th minute when he received an inch-perfect cross inside the box from Thomas O'Connor but couldn't keep his header on target. Despite being wasteful throughout the game, the Welsh side eventually clinched vital three points riding on Lee's brilliant corner.
