The visitors showed their Premier League class early on, with Matheus Cunha opening the scoring in the 18th minute after a slick passing move sliced through Ipswich’s defense.
Ipswich, currently impressing in the Championship, responded with determination. Their pressure paid off just before halftime when Conor Chaplin found the net with a superb strike from the edge of the box, sending the home crowd into celebration.
The second half saw both teams push for a winner, but it was Wolves who regained control. In the 72nd minute, substitute Hwang Hee-chan capitalized on a defensive lapse to restore the lead for the visitors. Despite a late surge from Ipswich, including a close-range effort from George Hirst that rattled the post, Wolves held on to claim the win.
The result highlights the growing confidence within the Wolves squad under manager Gary O’Neil, while Ipswich can hold their heads high after going toe-to-toe with top-flight opposition. A spirited display from both sides, but ultimately, Premier League quality made the diff
erence.
