Referee: Oliver Langford
Final Score: Wrexham 2–0 Middlesbrough
Half-time: 0–0

Wrexham produced a disciplined second-half display to beat Middlesbrough 2–0 at the Racecourse Ground, with a goalless first period giving way to a decisive late spell after the hour.

Middlesbrough controlled long stretches of the ball, but Wrexham kept their shape, limited clear openings, and then struck twice in the final 20 minutes. The breakthrough arrived on 70 minutes when George Thomason opened the scoring to put the hosts ahead. Middlesbrough responded with changes, but Wrexham stayed compact and dangerous on transitions.

With Middlesbrough pushing for an equaliser, Wrexham sealed the result late on: Oliver Rathbone made it 2–0 on 84 minutes, finishing a move that followed pressure in the final third and effectively ended the contest. The match ended without any red cards, and (per available event data) the only listed booking incident was a foul involving George Dobson shortly before Wrexham’s opener.
