Wrexham marked the anniversary of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s takeover in style, beating Ipswich Town to reach the FA Cup fifth round for the first time in nearly 30 years.
The Welsh side, backed by a raucous home crowd, took the lead before half-time and held their nerve as Ipswich pushed back after the break. Wrexham stayed organised, defended their box well and made sure the visitors could not find a way through when it mattered most.
It sealed a famous cup night at the Racecourse Ground and continued a memorable run in the competition, with the club now into the last 16 for the first time since the mid-1990s.
The win also came on a symbolic day for the club, with Wrexham celebrating one year since Reynolds and McElhenney completed their takeover. The owners have helped drive renewed belief around the team and town, and this result underlined how far Wrexham have come in a short time.
Wrexham will now wait to learn their FA Cup fifth-round opponents as the story of their season rolls on.
