Wrexham beat Millwall 2-0 on Saturday afternoon in a match that shifted decisively in the home side's favour during a frenetic second half.
The visitors controlled much of the opening period, with George Dobson booked on 35 minutes suggesting a degree of frustration as Wrexham began to find their rhythm. Millwall emerged from the break with purpose, and George Thomason was cautioned on 51 minutes as the midfield battle intensified.
The game turned sharply around the hour mark. Max Cleworth received yellow cards on 56 and 59 minutes, his second dismissal reducing Millwall to ten men and altering the contest entirely. Wrexham pressed their advantage with composure.
Barry Bannan was booked on 69 minutes, though Wrexham's numerical superiority was already telling. A cluster of substitutions around the 72nd minute brought Josh Windass, Sam Smith, and D. Keillor-Dunn into the action, and Tom Watson made an immediate impression, earning a caution on 73 minutes before being shown a second yellow on 82, departing to leave Millwall with nine men.
Josh Coburn had been introduced on 67 minutes and found the net on 85 to open the scoring, before Zak Sturge added a second two minutes later to confirm the result. Late bookings for Luke Cundle and Derek Mazou-Sacko reflected mounting ill-temper from the visitors.
Wrexham took full advantage of Millwall's indiscipline and closed out the match without difficulty.
