The Stok Cae Ras was a sea of red as supporters from both clubs gave their all knowing so much was at stake.<\/p>\n
However, the home faithful were silenced in the fourth minute as Callum Brittain’s cross was turned into the net by Conway from close range.<\/p>\n
Only Watford have claimed more points from losing positions than Wrexham in the Championship this season, and the Red Dragons responded well to that early setback.<\/p>\n
They made it 1-1 before the half-hour mark in stunning style as, after Smith was fouled, Windass guided his free-kick beyond Sol Brynn from around 25 yards out.<\/p>\n
It got even better before the break as Smith darted in front of Boro captain Dael Fry to head Issa Kabore’s cross into the net.<\/p>\n
But home delight swiftly turned to concern as Strelec turned Matt Targett’s cross beyond Danny Ward just two minutes after Wrexham had taken the lead.<\/p>\n
The positive and negative outcomes of results elsewhere continued to filter through to the 10,716-strong crowd in north Wales.<\/p>\n
Leo Castledine and Luke Ayling both went close to restoring the away side’s lead before Wrexham – who knew they needed to find a late third goal – pushed for a winner.<\/p>\n
Substitute Nathan Broadhead broke free before teeing up Windass four minutes from time, although the forward drilled over from the edge of the box – with Smith then having a shot blocked.<\/p>\n
And after failing to win, Wrexham’s agony was compounded when confirmation of Hull’s victory against Norwich filtered through as their campaign came to a heartbreaking end.<\/p>\n
As for Boro, their attention turns to the play-offs, with Kim Hellberg’s side hosting Southampton at the Riverside Stadium in the semi-final first leg on Saturday, 9 May. <\/p>\n
The return leg at St Mary’s Stadium will take place three days later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Stok Cae Ras was a sea of red as supporters from both clubs gave their all knowing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":645183,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-645182","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645182","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=645182"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645182\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/645183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=645182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=645182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=645182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
