Heartbreak for Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney as Wrexham lose in National League

Wrexham Football Club owners and Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney watched as the team narrowly lost against Grimsby in a nail-biting National League play-off.

Both actors were pictured cheering from Wrexham's The Racehorse Ground as the Dragon scored four goals this afternoon.

The game proved to be neck-on-neck and went into extra time, with Grimsby emerging as the winner after scoring a fifth goal.

It was a promising start for Wrexham after striker Paul Mullin scored the first goal of the match in a penalty shot, but the other team almost immediately caught up with a goal by John McAtee.

After going into half time at 1-1, the second half of the match proved to be more action-packed than the first. 

Grimsby briefly took the lead when Luke Waterfall scored, but they were quickly overtaken by two goals from Wrexham in quick succession - from Ben Tozer and Paul Mullin respectively.

Not to be outdone, Grimsby launched a late comeback - with two goals from Emmanuel Dieseruvwe taking them to a lead of 4-3.

But 80 minutes into the match, Wrexham's Jordan Davies levelled the field by scoring the team's fourth goal.

In the last minute of extra time, the match was finally decided when Grimsby's Luke Waterdell scored their fifth goal.

Ironically, Waterdell once played for Wrexham for half a season in 2015. 

It is over a year since the A-List duo bought Wrexham FC - having never visited the town before - investing £2million into the venture. 

The actors officially took control of the National League side in February 2021 and plan to make a documentary about it.

Last week, Reynolds and McElhinney watched the team narrowly lose to Bexley at the FA Vase Cup in Wembley, with pals David Beckham and actor Will Ferrell in
