  • 7' Magnificent from Max Cleworth! That is 7 goals in 115 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 12' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Tristan Crama suffering a number of foals already.
  • 17' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Wrexham AFC and Exeter City FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 22' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Phil Parkinson will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 25' Ollie Palmer doubles the advantage! 2-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
