A goalless Wigan tie still produced a Wrexham win

Wrexham drew 0–0 with Wigan Athletic in the first round on 8 August 2023, then won the shoot-out 4–2. The goalless match and the four successful Wrexham penalties are separate parts of the result. A results list showing only 0–0 would leave out the most important cup detail: Wrexham went through.

The team sheet records Mark Howard in goal and Luke Young as captain. It also places the match at the STōK Cae Ras, giving supporters a clear reference for identifying that home cup night rather than a later league meeting with Wigan.

For anyone revisiting the game, begin with the date and round before looking at the squad or highlights. The first-round victory earned another tie; it did not mean that Wrexham had scored four goals during open play. That is why the shoot-out figure deserves its own label.

Boyle's equaliser forced another shoot-out against Bradford

Bradford visited on 29 August for the second round. Tyler Smith's third-minute penalty gave the visitors an early lead, and Will Boyle equalised in the 72nd minute. The match finished 1–1, sending Wrexham into another shoot-out at the same home ground.

This time Bradford won the penalties 4–3. The two August ties therefore had similar endings in format but different consequences: Wigan's visit ended in Wrexham progressing, while Bradford's ended their campaign. The score after the match itself does not distinguish those outcomes without the penalty result.

Smith's opening penalty and the later shoot-out also need to be kept separate. His third-minute goal counts in Bradford's one match goal; the shoot-out figures describe the kicks taken after the draw. Seeing both types of penalty in one record can be confusing until the timing is made explicit.
