Wrexham drop first home game as rally falls short vs. Stevenage
Wrexham lost ground in the League One promotion race after a 3-2 home defeat to Stevenage in England's third division on Tuesday.
The Welsh side is attempting to earn a third straight promotion under the ownership of actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
The visitors grabbed an early 2-0 lead at the Racecourse Ground on goals by Dan Kemp and Jamie Reid. Wrexham's Oliver Rathbone cut the deficit in half before Jake Young restored Stevenage's two-goal advantage.
Max Cleworth's header in the 90th minute gave Wrexham hope, but Paul Mullin's shot went over the bar deep into stoppage time.
Wrexham haven't lost a League One home game all season. They remain in third place, six points behind second-place Wycombe, who won Tuesday. Both teams have 18 games remaining.
Birmingham retained their league lead at the top after a 1-0 victory over fourth-place Huddersfield. NFL great Tom Brady is a minority shareholder of Birmingham, who lead Wycombe by two points with two games in hand.
"HUGE win today boys," Brady said in a social media post.
The top two teams earn automatic promotion to the Championship, and the next four enter a playoff for one other promotion spot.
