More minutes in matches against Bristol City at Compton | First Men’s Team | News

Gary O’Neil’s first-team squad got more minutes on the feet on Saturday afternoon as pre-season continued to ramp up at Compton Park with a friendly against Bristol City.

With the duration of each of Wolves’ training games increasing ahead of the first official pre-season game against West Ham United in Jacksonville the following weekend, O’Neil’s side played a 120-minute game of four 30-minute quarters against the Championship team.

The head coach changed his entire midfield line-up after switching sides from the 1-0 win over Como in Marbella on Monday night.

Wolves were well on top in the first half, with Pedro Lima, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Tawanda Chirewa coming close to opening the scoring before the hosts took the lead just moments before the half-time whistle.

The goal came from Matheus Cunha, who found space 25 yards from goal before clearing the bottom corner with a pinpoint effort.

O’Neil rang the changes at half-time and it took just seven minutes after the break for Wolves to double their lead when Hee Chan Hwang got on the end of a Pablo Sarabia cross that was not caught by the Robins. goalkeeper, allowing the South Korean to turn the ball into the empty net.

Less than 10 minutes later, Wolves added their third of the afternoon when a Tommy Doyle cross was headed back by Craig Dawson before the ball was inadvertently headed into the net by a visiting defender .

Jorgen Strand Larsen was then denied in the fourth quarter when his header was well saved by the keeper, but it didn’t matter as Wolves made it two wins from two in their pre-season outings so far this summer.

First half 11: Bentley, Lima, S Bueno, Toti, H Bueno, Cundle, Lemina (C), Bellegarde, Cunha, Chiquinho, Guedes (Chirewa 30).

Second half 11: King, Doherty, Mosquera, Dawson (Lonwijk 107), Ait-Nouri, Hodge, Doyle, Sarabia, Hwang (C), R Gomes (Hoever 109), Strand Larsen.
