WREXHAM, Wales (AP) — Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s dream of taking Wrexham Association Football Club to the English Football League came true on Saturday, as the team secured promotion to the fourth tier of English soccer with a 3-1 win over Boreham Wood.
The game started off poorly for Wrexham, conceding a goal 43 seconds into the 90-minute game when Lee Ndlovu lobbed the goalkeeper. But a header from Elliot Lee tied the game, and two goals from star striker Paul Mullin in the second half saw the team win.
The Racecourse Ground in north Wales was filled with more than 10,000 fans, including the Hollywood actors, to witness the historic moment. McElhenney was seen in tears after the game, but later smiling about their achievement.
The promotion marks the first part of the dream of the A-list actors, who bought the small soccer team in north Wales three years ago. The team had not been in the English Football League for more than a decade.
The team will now look to continue their success in the English Football League, and with the backing of Reynolds and McElhenney, the future looks bright for Wrexham Association Football Club.
