Wolves 1-2 Man City: Champions Win Late, But It Was a Scare!
Okay, so the final score might make it look like a cakewalk for City, but let me tell ya, this game had me on the edge of my seat! Wolves, they're a tough bunch, and they really gave Man City a run for their money. It was a real nail-biter, and I don't think anyone could say for sure who would walk away with the win until the very last minute.
Early Drama:
Right from the kickoff, things got spicy. It was clear that Wolves were coming out swinging, ready to give the reigning champs a fight. They started with a real hunger, pressing City high up the pitch and forcing them into some early errors. The pressure really paid off in the 25th minute when Matheus Cunha, the Wolves striker, put the home team up 1-0. It was a brilliant goal, a real stunner, and it sent the Molineux crowd into a frenzy.
City's Comeback:
But, you know City, they're a force to be reckoned with. They might have been a bit shaky early on, but they regrouped and started to take control of the game. In the second half, they were relentless, creating chance after chance. And then it happened! The breakthrough came in the 76th minute, when Erling Haaland, the City beast, finally found the back of the net. It was a classic Haaland finish, powerful and precise. The game was back on!
Last-Minute Heroics:
Then, with just a few minutes left on the clock, things got really intense. The crowd was going wild, both sets of fans, and the tension was palpable. It felt like both teams were going to settle for a draw, but then, bam! A late free kick from Kevin De Bruyne, and Jack Grealish headed it in for the winner. Talk about a dramatic finish!
A Bit of a Scare:
Look, this game was a reminder that even against smaller teams, Man City can't take anything for granted. Wolves, they're a real threat, and they proved that they can compete with the best. This win might have come late, but it definitely wasn't easy. City had to dig deep to earn it, and that's what makes this win all the more impressive.
So, yeah, Champions win late, but let's be real, it was a much closer match than the scoreline suggests!
