Wrexham 1 CITY 3

Last updated : 20 November 2004 By Ciderjar
Kick off delayed by fifteen minutes due to crowd congestion as many fans from across the UK show their support for Wrexham's plight.

Luke Wilkshire has a shot saved. Phillips brings off a fine double save but the flag is up for offside. A free kick from Luke Wilkshire is well saved. Leroy Lita and Steve Brooker keep getting caught offside. Steve Torpey has scored as Scunthorpe go 2-0 up at the Gas.

Leroy Lita is brought down and City have a penalty! Mickey Bell is on the pitch and should take it. HE SCORES!!

0-1 (36 mins)

Mickey Bells first goal of the season is his 50th for the club. Wrexham fans are accusing Leroy of cheating.

A cross from Mickey Bell is headed goalwards by Steve Brooker. It is cleared but only to Scott Murray who drills a shot across the face of goal and into the back of the net.

0-2 (44 mins)

The Brighton fans that have made the long trip of solidarity make their way around the ground to great applause. The half time whistle goes.

HT 0-2

Scunthorpe now 3-0 up at the Gas.

In the last 8 games between City and Wrexham, City have won 7 and conceded only 1 goal. More of the same seems likely with City in control as the second half kicks off.

A Mickey Bell shot deflects home (it may be Steve Brookers).

0-3 (52 mins)

Hector Sam goes off to be replaced by Juan Ugarte and Dennis Lawrence is replaced by Craig Morgan. The substitutions seem to be having the desired effect as City appear to be taking a breather.

Bradley Orr comes on for Luke Wilkshire. Lita denied by the keeper and then Brooker by a great tackle from Morgan. Scott Murray is replaced by Jamie Smith. Christian Roberts scores late for Swindon who are now 4-1 up at home to Hull.

Chris Armstrong scores for Wrexham.
