"Neither team were able to fashion any clear chances in the early stages, although Millwall goalkeeper Steven Benda did well to prevent Ryan Hardie from getting on the end of Ryan Longman's long pass. But Wrexham could be pleased with the way they had nullified the hosts after they had made a bright start, with Zak Sturge and Aidomo Emakhu looking lively down the left-hand side."
"That combination led to Massimo Luongo having a chance to take aim from outside the box with just over half an hour played, but the Australian miscued his shot over. A clearer chance for the hosts came after 36 minutes when Mihailo Ivanovic could have done better than glance an inviting cross from Emakhu wide. There was another chance for Wrexham just before half-time when Hardie glanced on George Dobson's cross, but Moore couldn't get on the end of it at the back post."
Kieffer Moore opened the scoring with a header in the 57th minute after beating Millwall goalkeeper Steven Benda to Max Cleworth's cross. Lewis O'Brien sealed the victory deep into stoppage time to make the result 2-0. The win marked Wrexham's first triumph in the second tier since the final day of the 1981-82 season. Danny Ward suffered a serious injury and was stretchered off before the late clincher. Millwall created sporadic chances but struggled to convert pressure into clear opportunities despite efforts from players like Emakhu, Ivanovic and Luongo.
