This Saturday, Bournemouth left Wolverhampton with no chance of a comeback, triumphing with a decisive 2-0 scoreline at Molineux Stadium. The visitors opened the scoring at the 32-minute mark with a brilliant strike from Eli Kroupi, and the match was sealed just before halftime with another goal from Alex Scott in the 45th minute of the second half.
In a crucial moment during the 80th minute, Yerson Mosquera came close to leveling the score, but his shot hit the post, denying Wolverhampton the equalizer.

The midfield was made up of Rodrigo Gomes, João Gomes, André Trindade, Mateus Mane, and Hugo Bueno, while Hwang Heechan and Toluwalase Arokodare led the attack.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth, under the guidance of Andoni Iraola, set up in a 4-5-1 formation with Djordje Petrovic guarding the net; Adam Smith, James Hill, Marcos Senesi, and Adrien Truffert in defense; Alex Scott, Lewis Cook, Alex Jiménez, Eli Kroupi, and Amine Adli in midfield; and Evanilson as the lone striker.
