Wrexham A.F.C. midfielder Lewis O'Brien says the team's 1-1 draw with Cardiff City was 'a really tough one to take'. The draw came after Wrexham conceded an equaliser in the last kick of the game.
What happened?
The team's opening Championship game ended in a 1-1 draw at The CCS on Monday. Kieffer Moore put Wrexham ahead in the third minute, but Phil Parkinson's side squandered several chances before Rubin Colwill scored with a free-kick deep into added time.
Why it matters for Wrexham A.F.C.
O'Brien felt Wrexham deserved more for their efforts, with the Championship opener coming on the back of a 1-0 defeat at Middlesbrough in the League Cup first round. The team is currently 24 points behind leaders Coventry in the Championship title race, with a goal difference of +4 from 69 scored and 65 conceded.
What comes next?
Wrexham will play their first home game of the season against Watford on Saturday, and O'Brien is looking to bounce back from the draw. The team finished 7th in the Championship last season, with 71 points from 46 games, and recent form of DLWWL. As of the final 2025 table, Wrexham A.F.C. is preparing for the new season with a strong squad and high hopes for a successful campaign.
