GGood luck charm. Ryan Reynolds gave live commentary during the Welsh derby at Lexjamin, during his team’s match against Swansea City at the Racecourse Grounds.

Ryan Reynolds explodes after learning Wrexham will play Chelsea in FA Cup
A home win was vital for Wrexham if they were to secure promotion to the Championship Premier League and write the most historic chapter in football this century. The Welsh side were promoted to the Fourth Division in 2023, the Third Division in 2024 and the Second Division in 2025. We moved up three divisions in three years.
Ryan Reynolds celebrates own goal
During the broadcast, the actor could not hide his emotions at the winning goal. Nathan Broadhead scored the opening goal in the 25th minute, giving the Deadpool star some elation. It took him more than 60 minutes to break free from his desire to get all three points, but it wasn’t what he had imagined.
Reynolds wanted to score his team’s second goal, and he achieved it, albeit by chance. Swansea striker Liam Cullen curled the ball into his own net after an accidental deflection from a set-piece.
Wrexham and Ryan Reynolds are about to make history!
After 37 matches, the Welsh side are in 6th place overall. Of the 24 teams competing in the Championship, Wrexham are in the top six aiming for a coveted ticket to the Premier League.
60 points, 16 wins, 12 draws, 9 losses, 57 goals scored, 47 goals conceded
They are 17 points behind leaders Coventry City and 10 points behind second-placed Middlesbrough. Teams that finish the season in the top two positions will automatically be promoted. Teams that finish 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th will play a playoff round, and one of the four teams will be promoted.
Wrexham and Reynolds remain fixed on their goal of direct promotion, but are also eyeing the possibility of clinching a third ticket in the play-offs. With nine games remaining, they will do everything in their power to aim for promotion to the Premier League and the fourth tier for the first time in three years.
