Since returning to the Football League last season, Wrexham had lost only one of 11 midweek league games prior to their defeat at Stevenage
Stevenage stretched their unbeaten run to three games with a 1-0 win over promotion-chasing Wrexham in League One.
Louis Thompson drilled beyond Arthur Okonkwo from 25 yards out after just 10 minutes to earn Alex Revell's side victory in the first EFL meeting of these two clubs.
Despite defeat, their second in the league this season, Phil Parkinson's side remain second, but fall five points adrift of leaders Birmingham City.
Stevenage - who have kept three clean sheets in succession - rise to ninth following their fourth league triumph of the campaign.
Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson:
“I thought in the first 10 minutes we started brightly and the goal knocked us too much. We never got going in the first half after the goal, apart from two or three moments where we got the ball into Fletch (Steven Fletcher) and mounted an attack.
“They hurried us out of possession and we weren’t quick enough to make angles or to react to their intensity after the goal.
“We showed more in the second half. We got into a lot of good positions but the ball wouldn’t fall for us in and around the box.
“We gave everything we have got in terms of effort but we just couldn’t produce that moment. I think if we’d got one we would have gone on to win the game.”
