  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Wrexham had looked dangerous in the early stages, with Dalby having some bright moments before breaking the deadlock after 23 minutes.

    The key moment came after Andy Cannon fed Dalby through with a perfect pass. Dalby took it wider with his first touch and then lashed it into the top corner.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Wrexham continued to push for another goal throughout the half, with Dalby coming close to scoring again shortly afterwards and then seeing another effort tipped onto the bar by the goalkeeper.

    Mansfield attempted to create some chances, too, seeing a few efforts from near and far miss the target.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Wrexham are hoping to put together another dream run in the FA Cup. Last year, they made it all the way to the fourth round - the lowest ranked team in the competition at that stage - and managed a 3-3 draw against Sheffield United. They were, however, knocked out when they lost 3-1 to the Blades in the replay.
