BBC Wales SportYou could have heard a pin drop when Lee Ndlovu scored inside a minute but the noise levels have reached those of pre-match as Elliot Lee’s header brings the hosts level.
We’re in for a long, and rather noisy night at this rate.

Wrexham 1-1 Boreham Wood
Boreham Wood are under the pump now. The crowd is loud and the Wrexham players rushing a hassling at every opportunity.
Remember Wrexham's promotion would not be secured if this ends as a draw. If it does the promotion race with Notts County will go to the final day.

BBC Wales Football CorrespondentThe Racecourse is seething. When Wrexham get a goal they scent blood.
They are like wild dogs on one of those wildlife TV programmes. They try to really savage teams with goals.

The 28-year-old, who came through the youth team at West Ham, is making quite a name for himself in Wales.

Barry Horne
Former Wales and Wrexham midfielder on BBC Radio WalesThat's brilliant. Fantastic wing play and I love to see a midfielder getting into the box.
It's a brilliant cross, he clips it absolutely perfectly and takes the keeper out of the game.
Elliot Lee didn't have to break stride, he didn't have to jump. Great goal.

Elliot Lee
The Racecourse erupts!
Wrexham are back level and those Hollywood owners look far more comfortable now up in the stands. The cross comes in from the right and Elliot Lee, who joined last year from Luton Town, is on hand to stoop and head into the net.

Wrexham 0-1 Boreham Wood
Wrexham have settled well since the goal, without creating any real chances. It was never going to be straightforward, was it? We've seen that already this season in the National League.

Former Wales and Wrexham midfielder on BBC Radio WalesBoreham Wood are quite happy just to kick it in behind Wrexham's defence and let them start again.
They didn't have anybody up the pitch. That's an indication of how they are approaching this game.

Of course the attention is on Wrexham today but Boreham Wood cannot afford to just roll over. They still need a point to guarantee their place in the play-offs.

Wrexham's fans find their voice again.
Boreham Wood have the best defensive record in the National League this season.
They are not the team you want to go a goal behind against.

Former Wales and Wrexham midfielder on BBC Radio WalesI said anything could happen.
That's a dampener to say the very least - a disaster for Wrexham.

I'm stunned. So is The Racecourse.
43 seconds is the official time for that goal.
GOAL - Wrexham 0-1 Boreham Woodpublished at 1 min
Lee Ndlovu
WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT?! Inside 45 seconds, Boreham Wood take the lead.
It's a hopeful long ball but, after getting in behind, Lee Ndlovu coolly lobs Ben Foster.
This was NOT in the script.

Barry Horne
Former Wales and Wrexham midfielder on BBC Radio WalesIt would be be brilliant if Wrexham could get promoted here, at home, but there is always next Saturday if they need it.
They have got another game to seal promotion.
But there are 10,000 people here hoping the boys can get the job done tonight.
I can see it being a tense game. Anything could happen, I promise you. It's football.
'Ryan Reynolds was on Zoom and I couldn't tell my kids'published at 18:30 British Summer Time 22 April 2023
Image source, Getty ImagesUnsurprisingly, the football club has become the talk of the town these days.
But it wasn't always like that.
Back at the start of the 'Hollywood journey', confidentiality agreements meant Spencer Harris, chair of the club's supporters trust, couldn't even tell his wife and children it was Ryan Reynolds he was having a Zoom meeting with.
"That first Zoom call that I had with Rob and Ryan together was quite surreal," recalled Spencer.
"The difficult thing with lockdown is you had your family around the house and I'd ban people from the room and, in some cases, the surrounding rooms, to make sure it remained private.
"So I was in my living room and everyone else was banned so they're upstairs, keeping out the way while I'm dealing with what is classed as Wrexham business.
"Little did they know that Ryan Reynolds is talking to me downstairs."

The Racecourse Ground is bouncing.
There are some nervous faces. Others just look to be enjoying themselves.
Here come the players.
Meant to be?published at 18:27 British Summer Time 22 April 2023
Today's game comes 15 years to the day since Wrexham were last relegated from the Football League.
22 April was also the date they achieved promotion to English football's second tier in 1978.
