Wrexham Opened the Season with a Win Without Their Hollywood Owners

The Welsh club Wrexham, owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, made an impressive start to their preseason preparation tour in the United States. Although the famous owners were not in the stands, Wrexham's on-field performance was eye-catching as they defeated Bournemouth's Under-21 team with a clear score of 4-0. The match, played in Santa Barbara, California, was the first leg of Wrexham's tour, named 'Wrex Coast Tour.' The club, having been promoted consecutively to England's League One, showed in this match how ready they are for the new season. The first half of the encounter ended with Wrexham leading 1-0 thanks to a goal by Andy Cannon. In the second half, Wrexham’s storm continued. One of the team's key players, Elliot Lee, increased the difference with a goal, while star striker Paul Mullin brought the score to 3-0 with a penalty goal. Anthony Forde then scored the goal that set the final score, and Wrexham left the field with a stunning 4-0 victory. Although the absence of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who have played a key role in turning the club into a worldwide phenomenon, was notable, this did not affect the team’s motivation. Gaining an international fan base thanks to the 'Welcome to Wrexham' documentary, the club also played in front of a significant crowd in their first match in the USA. This victory holds more than just the status of a preseason match win for Wrexham. With this result, the team loaded up on morale as they stepped into the new season. In the tour's next and most challenging test, they will face Premier League giant Chelsea. This convincing victory instilled great confidence in the team ahead of the Chelsea match.
