The Match Story
From the very first minutes, the Red Devils dictated the pace, suffocating Wolves in their own half. It took just ten minutes for Rasmus Hojlund to open the scoring with a clinical strike that pierced the Molineux net, setting the tone for what was to come. Twenty-five minutes later, captain Bruno Fernandes doubled the lead with surgical precision, leaving Wolves fans stunned. Just before the break, as hope for a comeback began to flicker, Antony extinguished the last flames with a third goal, sealing a one-sided first half.
Despite a brief moment of pride from Wolves, with Jean-Ricner Bellegarde scoring just before half-time, Manchester United’s grip was too strong. The second half saw the visitors continue to dictate the tempo, with overwhelming possession and relentless attacks. It was only logical that Bruno Fernandes, once again, returned to the charge on the hour mark, bagging his brace and his team’s fourth goal, transforming what could have been a tight contest into a true show of force. Wolves tried, but United’s solid defense gave them no chance.

Scoring a brace, the Portuguese captain not only left his mark on the scoreboard but also orchestrated his team’s play with exemplary vision and precision.
