Wigan Athletic and Wrexham faced off in a tense League One match at The Brick Community Stadium on April 12, 2025, ending in a goalless draw. The result was a setback for Wrexham's automatic promotion hopes as they remain in second place, trailing league leaders Birmingham City.
The match saw both teams struggle to convert chances into goals. Wigan's defense, led by Sam Tickle and James Carragher, held firm against Wrexham's attacking efforts. Despite Wrexham's dominance in possession and their high-pressure tactics, they failed to break through the resilient Wigan backline.
Key moments included substitutions late in the game, with Jack Marriott coming on for Wrexham and Harry McHugh entering for Wigan. A yellow card for Luke Robinson of Wigan in the 86th minute highlighted the physical nature of the contest.
The draw leaves Wrexham with 82 points from 42 matches, just one point ahead of Wycombe Wanderers, who won their game earlier in the day. With only a few matches left in the season, Wrexham will need strong performances to secure automatic promotion to the Championship.
Meanwhile, Wigan sits lower in the table with 47 points, focusing on avoiding relegation rather than competing for promotion.
