Hull City clinched a 2-1 victory over Wrexham at the Racecourse Ground, capitalizing on the hosts' FA Cup fatigue to strengthen their playoff position. The Tigers, who had taken Chelsea to extra time just days earlier, looked a shadow of themselves without top scorer Kieffer Moore, who suffered a hamstring injury.

Joe Gelhardt and Lewis Koumas, both on loan from Leeds and Liverpool respectively, scored the decisive goals for Hull. Gelhardt opened the scoring with a free kick in the first half, though he later missed a penalty. Koumas doubled the lead with a header from a corner, as Wrexham struggled to match their visitors' intensity.

Nathan Broadhead pulled one back for Wrexham in the 76th minute, giving the hosts hope of a comeback. However, Hull's defense held firm in the closing stages, securing their eighth win in ten away games. The result leaves Wrexham three points above Derby with a game in hand, while Hull moves six points clear of the Red Dragons in the playoff race.
