Wrexham scores twice in the second half at Levi’s Stadium, spoils manager Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea debut
Wrexham AFC’s Seb Revan fights for the ball against Chelsea FC in the first half at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Wednesday, July 24, 2024. SANTA CLARA – Wrexham, a club whose players’ every on-pitch move is recorded by film crews and high-definition cameras, made sure the studios would be able to use more than a few highlights from Tuesday’s friendly at Levi’s Stadium against legendary club Chelsea in its next season.
Jack Marrriott broke free on a counter in the 71st minute to put Wrexham on top, slotting a shot in the low far post. Chelsea salvaged a draw in the 82nd minute when Lesley Ugochukwu tied the game off the rebound. The friendly was Chelsea’s first match of the new season, almost two months having elapsed since the Blue’s 2-1 victory over Bournemouth in the Premier League finale.
The rest of the first half saw Chelsea dominate possession thanks to the Blues ability to maintain possession with the back line of Reece James, Colwill and skillful midfielder Romeo Lavia. Chelsea, winners of two Champions League titles and six Premier League trophies, went into the match hoping to avoid the fate that had befallen fellow giant Manchester United almost exactly a year before, when Wrexham stunned upset the Premier League staple 3-1.
