Arthur Okonkwo took center stage with two remarkable saves in the second half, securing a point for Wrexham in their goalless draw against Portsmouth. The hosts, who have the lowest goal tally in the Championship, fired 18 shots at the Welsh side's goal, with seven on target. Okonkwo shone with crucial saves against efforts from Josh Murphy and Ibane Bowat, leaving Portsmouth with only 10 goals in the league and just one win from nine matches.

Portsmouth made seven changes to their lineup following a 4-0 defeat to Birmingham over the weekend. Josh Murphy, returning from an ankle issue, was a standout on the right flank, orchestrating several dangerous attacks. Despite having more opportunities, Wrexham held their own, with Lewis O'Brien and Ben Sheaf also threatening to score.

In the second half, Portsmouth intensified their pressure in search of a breakthrough, but Okonkwo continued to excel, denying several more dangerous attempts, including those from Murphy and Bowat. Despite Portsmouth's dominance, the best chance of the match fell to Wrexham's O'Brien, who also failed to beat the home goalkeeper, Josef Bursik.

Wrexham's defensive stability and Okonkwo's outstanding performance were key highlights. If they can bolster their attacking prowess, they could become serious contenders in the league. Portsmouth, on the other hand, must find a way to convert their chances if they hope to climb the standings.
