Manchester United achieved a dramatic victory after a difficult battle against Wolverhampton (England), where Korean national team striker Hwang Hee-chan withdrew to participate in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup.
Manchester United defeated Wolverhampton 4-3 in the 22nd round away game of the 2023-2024 English Professional Football Premier League (EPL) held at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, England on the 2nd (Korean time).
Manchester United, whose main goal was Marcus Rashford 5 minutes into the game, seemed to have secured the victory early on with Rasmus Høirun scoring a goal 17 minutes later.
Wolverhampton, where Hwang Hee-chan (11 goals), the team’s highest scorer, was called up to the Korean national team led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann to participate in the Asian Cup, was unable to open the Manchester United goal until the early and mid-second half of the second half.
In the 23rd minute of the second half, Wolverhampton received a penalty kick opportunity when Manchester United’s Casemiro, who was trying to block a counterattack, committed a foul in the penalty box, and Pablo Sarabia, who took the kicker, calmly succeeded and scored a goal.

However, in the 30th minute of the second half, Scott McTominay headed a corner kick from the right side, putting Manchester United up 3-1.
Wolverhampton, who did not give up despite a two-goal deficit and went on the offensive, showed their ability to tie the game just before the end of the game.
In the 40th minute of the second half, Maximilian Kilman showed concentration in a mixed situation at goal and scored one more goal, and after a counterattack in extra time in the second half, Pedro Neto even scored the equalizer to make it 3-3.
Just before the end of the game, when the spirit of a draw was growing strong, Manchester United’s 2005-born star Kobe Mainu came out as the solution, showing off his brilliant footwork.
Mainu, who passed two defenders in the midfield area and entered the penalty box at once, struck the bottom corner of the opposing goal with a right-footed shot, putting an end to the fierce game.
Manchester United (2 wins, 9 draws, 35 points), who achieved their 11th win of the season, was in 7th place, and Wolverhampton (8 wins, 5 draws, 9 losses, 29 points) was in 11th place. 고스톱
