The match between Wrexham and Bolton Wanderers at Stok Racecourse in League One ended in a tense goalless draw, with neither team able to capitalize on their chances. Wrexham, who are 14 points behind League One leaders Birmingham, had the opportunity to make headway at the top of the division, but their finishing was poor. Bolton Wanderers, who are 22 points adrift of top spot, also had their chances, but the defenses of both teams held strong.

However, neither goalkeeper was regularly tested, with a glut of chances missing the mark at both ends.

And there was still time for Aaron Collins to almost win it for Bolton, but Arthur Okonkwo's excellent save kept the game goalless.
