In a display of astonishment, Ryan Reynolds has found himself at a loss for words. The reason for this is his soccer team, Wrexham AFC. The Welsh club recently faced off against Salford City, co-owned by none other than soccer legend David Beckham. The match proved to be nothing short of a nail-biter, with Wrexham’s young star shining brightly and even earning the praise of their Hollywood co-owner.

Wrexham’s journey in the EFL League Two this season has been a rollercoaster ride for fans. The team has consistently delivered thrilling contests, leaving supporters on the edge of their seats. Even Reynolds humorously referred to Wrexham as the leading cause of heart attacks for him, given the team’s penchant for dramatic finishes. The match against Salford City was no exception.

From the outset, Wrexham found themselves facing an uphill battle. Salford City quickly took a 2-0 lead within the first 36 minutes of the match. However, Wrexham showcased resilience and determination as Eliot Lee found the back of the net just before halftime. With only two minutes left on the clock, veteran striker Steven Fletcher scored a crucial equalizer, leveling the scoreline.

The true hero of the match, though, was the 25-year-old Welsh midfielder, Jordan Davies. With the crowd roaring with anticipation, Davies seized the moment, scoring the winning goal within minutes of Fletcher’s equalizer. The stadium erupted with joy, and fans rejoiced in witnessing their team’s triumph. Following the celebration, Ryan Reynolds took to his Instagram story to share a video of Davies’ magnificent goal.
