Despite the wet weather several fans headed to the High Street to watch the match at the out door fan zone.
The road is closed to traffic during Wales matches to enable fans to come and enjoy the games.
Mark Pritchard, Leader of the Council, said: "We've worked in partnership with North Wales Police and businesses and the most important thing is that when we have large crowds in Wrexham that people are safe.
"So we have to have the road closures so that people can come to Wrexham to enjoy the atmosphere, enjoy the evening and there are no accidents."
