Wrexham Dominates Melbourne Victory in Preseason Opener

Wrexham`s 3-0 triumph over Melbourne Victory highlights their strong preseason form ahead of the English Championship.

Wrexham`s preseason tour Down Under kicked off with a commanding 3-0 victory over A-League Men side Melbourne Victory at Marvel Stadium. The Welsh club showcased their attacking prowess, with midfielder Tom O`Connor striking first in the 42nd minute, sending a clear message of intent as they prepare for their return to the English Championship.

Scottish striker Ryan Hardie, who joined from Plymouth Argyle, made an immediate impact after coming on as a substitute at halftime, netting the second goal in the 67th minute. The final nail in Melbourne`s coffin came from George Evans, whose long-range shot in the 78th minute slipped under substitute goalkeeper Daniel Graskoski, sealing a comprehensive win for Wrexham. This match marks a significant step in Wrexham`s preparations for the upcoming season, following three consecutive promotions that have elevated them back to the second tier of English football.

As the A-League Men gears up for the 2025-26 season, all teams, including Perth Glory, Sydney FC, and Wellington Phoenix, currently sit at zero points, with no matches played yet. The anticipation builds as the league prepares for qualification for the 2026 Australia Cup play-offs, with fixtures yet to be announced.
