On September 9, 2025, Southampton began its season in the Championship, competing against Wrexham at St Mary’s Stadium. This was Wrexham's first game at this level in over 40 years, following three consecutive promotions from the National League. Southampton, who last season suffered relegation from the Premier League, hopes to return to the elite.
The match started quite actively, with Wrexham receiving a penalty after a foul on Kieffer Moore. Josh Windass converted it, putting the team ahead. Southampton aimed to equalize, but in the final moments of the match, they were unable to achieve this. However, in the last nine minutes of the match, the team under the management of new coach Will Still managed to turn the game around.
Rayan Manning equalized the score, capitalizing on a wonderful free-kick. And then Jack Stephens scored the winning goal, netting a header from a corner kick by Wrexham. This victory was crucial for Southampton, giving them hope for a successful season in the Championship.
