    Ex-Wrexham striker and manager on BBC Radio Wales

    Mansfield are back on top, they know they're the better team in this second half.

    They're getting every second ball and getting too many shots on goal from a Wrexham perspective.

    Brilliant game this!

  2. SUBSTITUTION

    Mansfield 1-2 Wrexham

    Andy Cannon fires just wide.

    Swan and McLaughlin replace Johnson and Cargill.

  3. Mansfield 1-2 Wrexham

    Andy Morrell
    Ex-Wrexham striker and manager on BBC Radio Wales

    Wrexham scored from nothing and against the run of play but straight away they've conceded and let Mansfield back in it.

    Mansfield now have their tails up and back looking for the equaliser.

  4. Mansfield 1-2 Wrexham

    Andy Morrell
    Ex-Wrexham striker and manager on BBC Radio Wales

    It's just a long ball and a mistake. Ben Tozer has it covered it hits his shins and bounces to Rhys Oates.

    Then it's an unstoppable strike beyond Arthur Okonkwo.

  5. Mansfield 1-2 Wrexham

    We did say at half-time that there should have been more goals...

    GOAL - Mansfield 1-2 Wrexham

    Rhys Oates

    What a hit! Game on.

    Rhys Oates drills the ball beyond Okonkwo from the edge of the box.

    That's a stunning strike after a brilliant bit of play from Oates initially to beat two defenders.

  7. Mansfield 0-2 Wrexham

    It's fair to say that came against the run of play, but Phil Parkinson won't care one bit.

    That's a terrific finish from Mullin to double his side's lead.

  8. goal

    GOAL - Mansfield 0-2 Wrexham

    Paul Mullin

    Wrexham make it two!

    More great play from Dalby. Mullin gets into a great position in the box, and he curls beyond Pym into the far corner.

    Top finish from Mullin.

  9. Mansfield 0-1 Wrexham

    Mansfield are firmly on top here.

    It's a poor strike from Bowery though, his effort sailing well over.

  10. Mansfield 0-1 Wrexham

    Davis Keillor-Dunn lines up the free-kick, but it's drilled into the side netting.

  11. Mansfield 0-1 Wrexham

    Wrexham survive...

    Oates passes the ball back across goal, and Keillor-Dunn can't make proper contact with the ball in the middle. The goal was at his mercy from around six yards out.

    Elliot Lee then concedes a foul.

  12. Mansfield 0-1 Wrexham

    Andy Morrell
    Ex-Wrexham striker and manager on BBC Radio Wales

    Wrexham need to pull their finger out and get hold of the ball.

    Why would Anthony Forde go down when he's got past his opponent there. Baily Cargill just shoves him in the back.

  13. Mansfield 0-1 Wrexham

    Wrexham wanted a penalty just before that chance for the hosts, but Cargill looks to have potentially got away with one.

  14. Big chance for Mansfield

    Mansfield 0-1 Wrexham

    Big chance for the hosts.

    A cross is driven in low from the right, but Bowery volleys over from close range.

  15. Mansfield 0-1 Wrexham

    Andy Morrell
    Ex-Wrexham striker and manager on BBC Radio Wales

    The home side have come out strong, two chances already and every time a Wrexham player gets the ball they're straight in their faces.

  16. Mansfield 0-1 Wrexham

    Arthur Okonkwo slows things down after Wrexham earn a goal kick.

    Mansfield have been on top in the early stages of this second half.

  17. Mansfield 0-1 Wrexham

    Andy Morrell
    Ex-Wrexham striker and manager on BBC Radio Wales

    That was the counter-attack. Straight from one corner to the other.

    A good strike but Arthur Okonkwo is able to turn it around the post.

    A little reminder that Mansfield aren't out of this game.

  18. Mansfield 0-1 Wrexham

    Keillor-Dunn causes problems again, feeding Oates who shoots from a narrow angle, but again, Okonkwo does well to save.

  19. Mansfield 0-1 Wrexham

    The pitch looks really cut up in places now.

    The rain is still falling heavily in Mansfield, and, in fact, across most of the UK right now.

  20. Mansfield 0-1 Wrexham

    Johnson's cross into the Wrexham box evades everyone.
