The Wolves were trying to press the Wolves from the start, but the Wolves were clearly unwilling to give in. Even though Haaland almost scored in the first ten minutes, the Wolves continued to attack hard in the midfield, and this counter-attacking tactic worked in the 12th minute, when Neto grabbed the ball on the midfield line and shook off Foden, and then Aké chased after Neto and tried to scoop the ball, but Neto used his change of tempo to keep the ball away, and Aké was able to keep the ball. Aké missed the ball and fell to the ground, and Neto drove in.

was clearly affected, and the earth-shattering booing of Nunes at the venue seemed to make the

A bit of hesitation on the pass to him resulted in just Doku charging hard down the left side
After the Wolves took the lead, Cunha backed up, they saw that Neto was very useful to eat Aké, so they let Neto come forward instead, and the result was that Neto was bullying Aké, who was obviously being attacked under great pressure, and didn't dare to come forward to assist in the offense to distribute the ball for fear that Neto would break through if he fell out of the position a little bit, and on the other side of the field, although Huang Xican didn't have many chances to get the ball, but when he got it, he would pound on the defense, also forcing Walker not to go forward. On the other hand, although Wong Hee Chan didn't have many chances to get the ball, but once he got the ball, he pushed the defense violently, forcing Walker to be unable to go forward, and when they exchanged blows, Walker was knocked down a few times and rolled on the ground in pain.

Nunes was replaced by Bobb at halftime. Bobb came on and played on the left side of the field to help Doku advance, but his real intention was to strengthen the left side of the field and force Neto back to the defense, so that Aké could come up and participate in the attacking distribution of the ball when Neto returned to the defense, or else Aké was simply going to be overpowered by Neto, and he would have to fall out of the position again sooner or later. At least in the first part of the second half Bobb came up with a successful effect.
Bobb was instrumental in the 56th minute when he was pushed by Gomes for a free kick just outside the box on the left, and Álvarez drove a curling, fast 19-yard shot straight into the top left corner of the net, to help

Tied at 1-1, Bobb was instrumental in forcing a foul with the ball.

At the 65th minute, the Wolves almost broke the goal by directly transferring the ball to the far corner of the goal, it was the Wolves who succeeded in clearing the ball from the goal line, and the Wolves immediately launched a counter-attack, Semedo crossed the ball from the right side of the road, Akanji cleared the ball from the goal in front of the goal and then cleared the ball, but not far enough, and the ball was taken by Huang Xican who followed him, Huang Xican made a shot which was blocked by Ruben Dias, but the ball continued to roll to the center of the goal. Cunha, who failed to take the point in front of him, immediately retreated, but Akanji, who was following him, relaxed and didn't follow him. He probably thought the ball would be blocked far away, so he didn't run out immediately, as a result, Cunha made another shot from 8 yards, and Hwang Hee-chan, who continued to run, this time, went into the 7-yard box and shot again, which no one could block, and the Wolves took the lead again with a score of 2-1!
