Will Lankshear made an instant impact on his Middlesbrough debut, netting the only goal as Boro edged past Wrexham to reach the Carabao Cup second round, according to Sky Sports.
Elsewhere in the competition, Stevenage produced late drama to see off Wycombe 2-1, with Josh Magennis grabbing a dramatic winner deep into stoppage time in the 95th minute.
Wolves, meanwhile, were far more comfortable in their progression, blitzing Port Vale with three goals inside the first half to cruise through to the next round without much resistance.
All three results confirm progress into round two of the competition, as clubs across the divisions continue to shape their early-season cup campaigns.
