Overview
- Kyle Joseph put Hull ahead in the 10th minute after Mohamed Belloumi's driving run on the winger's first start since a September hamstring injury.
- Substitute Oli McBurnie scored four minutes after coming on for his first appearance since an October calf layoff.
- Goalkeeper Ivor Pandur saved Kieffer Moore's 56th-minute penalty to protect Hull's lead in the key moment of the match.
- The result ended Wrexham's nine-match unbeaten run, with Parkinson citing a lack of energy from an unchanged XI and calling the miss from the spot decisive.
- Hull recorded just their fourth clean sheet in 20 games to steady a defence that had conceded 34 in 19, as injured forward Joe Gelhardt remained sidelined.
