Wrexham defeated Swansea City 2-0 in a heated Welsh derby at the STōK Cae Ras on Friday night, with Nathan Broadhead scoring his seventh Championship goal of the season and a Liam Cullen own goal sealing the victory. The win extends Wrexham's playoff push and lifts them six points clear of seventh-placed Southampton.

Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney provided television commentary as Wrexham bounced back from Tuesday's 2-1 home defeat to Hull. The match saw Arthur Okonkwo keep Wrexham's first Championship clean sheet at home since November, making critical saves including denying Swansea's top-scorer Gonçalo Franco. Swansea had traveled north hoping to move within two points of the top six but couldn't break through.

Wrexham's pressure paid off in the 23rd minute when Callum Doyle's disguised pass found Broadhead, who sidestepped Cameron Burgess before powering home. The Red Dragons dominated the second half, with Broadhead narrowly missing a second goal and Zak Vyner setting up Sam Smith for a missed chance. The decisive moment came in the 88th minute when George Thomason's cross deflected in off Cullen after Doyle's header, securing three vital points.
