There's always a fair amount of stardust when Wrexham come to town, and Monday's visit to Welsh rivals Cardiff City was seemingly no different.
Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have transformed the fortunes of the north Walians, and given them genuine hope of reaching the Premier League soon.
Cardiff clearly have their own ambitions for the coming campaign on their return to the Championship under Brian Barry-Murphy, and proved on Monday night that they'll be no pushovers.
Robin Colwill came off the bench to level with a sensational free kick in the eighth minute of stoppage time, after former Bluebird Kieffer Moore had given the visitors an early lead.
Taking it all in was Premier League star Jack Grealish, who was sat in the stands and could be seen making his way to the exit after the game in a video posted on social media. The England star was believed to be supporting his close friend and former Aston Villa team-mate Callum Robinson, who came off the bench for the Bluebirds.
Grealish had been playing for Manchester City in the Community Shield defeat to Arsenal some 24 hours earlier, where City were well beaten at the Principality Stadium, going down 3-0 at the hands of the Gunners.
Grealish was introduced as a second half substitute on the day, but his future at the club appears uncertain.
The 30-year-old joined City from Aston Villa in 2021, in a deal worth around £100m.
It was a fee that made Grealish the most expensive British player, and he would go on to play a big part in City's treble win in 2023.
However, he fell out of favour during the latter years of Pep Guardiola's reign and spent last season on loan at Everton.
It remains to be seen if he will play a role under new boss Enzo Maresca this season, although the sight of him at the Cardiff City Stadium prompted one cheeky fan to ask: "Is this a loan move or permanent?".
The light-hearted suggestion was clearly that he was on the verge of signing for the Bluebirds.
Grealish, with a smile, played along and responded: "Not sure yet".
After Colwill's late heroics, however, some City fans might be wondering if he'd get into Brian Barry-Murphy's XI right now.
