Ryan Rydel's late goal secured victory for Stockport County, who came from behind to beat Wrexham.
Rob Lainton's direct kick found Paul Mullin, who lifted the ball over goalkeeper Ethan Ross to give Wrexham the lead within the opening minute.
Mullin was twice denied by Ross as Wrexham dominated but Paddy Madden's header from a corner brought the hosts level just after the break.
Substitute Rydel bundled home County's winner with 10 minutes remaining.
County are up to ninth in the National League while Wrexham are seventh,
Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson:
"We got a great start, I thought we controlled the first half and was pleased with the way we went about our business. We had a lot of chances to score but didn't take them.
"We're hudely frustrated in ourselves and for our travelling supporters, who came in their numbers, that we haven't headed the ball out of our box in the first five minutes of the second half.
"That kind of changed the momentum and the feeling in the stadium and the goal is too easy to concede.
"But there was no way we should have lost that game. We've controlled it for long periods but it's so frustrating because we've given a team who were lacking confidence a massive lift."
