"A rare George Dobson goal -- only the midfielder's second in 51 league appearances for Wrexham -- gave the Red Dragons a 13th-minute lead that Phil Parkinson's team had chances to build on. But Birmingham captured a point due to their quickfire start to the second half, Patrick Roberts sliding home Jay Stansfield's measured pass just 25 seconds after play had resumed."
"This rivalry was forged in League One last season -- Birmingham were crowned champions and Wrexham finished runners-up -- and across the Atlantic thanks to their respective celebrity owners and the global interest in the two clubs. Wrexham's co-owners and Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac have overseen three promotions since joining this red corner of North Wales in 2021."
Wrexham and Birmingham City played out a 1-1 draw at SToK Cae Ras in a blustery Championship fixture. George Dobson scored a rare 13th-minute goal to give Wrexham an early lead. Birmingham equalised immediately after half-time when Patrick Roberts slid home Jay Stansfield's measured pass 25 seconds after the restart. Wrexham remain without a home win in the second tier, still waiting to end a 43-year wait and having drawn three and lost two of five league games at home. Birmingham sit 11th, two points above Wrexham, who climb to 14th. Celebrity ownership adds high-profile interest to the fixture.
