Welsh side Wrexham opens its Down Under tour with a 3-0 win over A-League’s Melbourne Victory
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) – Welsh soccer side Wrexham opened a three-match tour of Australia and New Zealand on Friday without their high-profile co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney making the trip Down Under.
The result was a good one, though – 3-0 over A-League side Melbourne Victory – despite missing the Hollywood actors’ star power off the field.
Midfielder Tom O’Connor scored for Wrexham in the 42nd minute, with Ryan Hardie (67th) and George Evans (78th) adding goals in the second half.
Scottish striker Hardie, signed from Plymouth Argyle for the Red Dragons’ long-awaited return to English football’s second tier, was in place to poke home from close range after being introduced as a substitute at halftime.
