EFL Cup Round-Up: Wrexham Eliminated by Middlesbrough; Stevenage and Wolves Advance
The EFL Cup kicked off its first round with several exciting matches. In a highly anticipated clash, Middlesbrough secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Wrexham at the Riverside Stadium, with Will Lankshear scoring the decisive goal in the second half. This defeat marked Wrexham's first of the season.
Elsewhere, Stevenage pulled off a dramatic upset, snatching a 2-1 win against Wycombe Wanderers at Adams Park. Josh Magennis scored the winning goal in the 95th minute, capitalizing on a corner. Earlier, Dan Kemp had given Stevenage a deserved lead, and although Richard Kone equalized for Wycombe, Stevenage's late persistence paid off.
Wolverhampton Wanderers began their season on a high note with a convincing 3-0 triumph over Port Vale at Molineux. Adam Armstrong, Andre, and Fer Lopez found the net for Wolves in the first half. Despite a second-half penalty awarded to Port Vale, Dan Bentley made a save to maintain Wolves' clean sheet.
