SportsTranscript
00:00Welcome back inside the Everbank Stadium, where we are just moments away from the start of Wolves West Ham United.
00:12We did it.
00:20An excellent drainage here and Wolves get us started later than we expected.
00:26But it's been a huge effort from everyone involved at the stadium to get this game to go ahead as Ings shows a little bit of trickery.
00:35Going to be tested here between the post for Wolves. It is the left boot of Craswell.
00:41Might actually have struck his own in the summer.
00:47Luke Cundle.
00:50Good angle on the pass here for Matt Doherty.
00:54It is right wing, right boot then from J.W.P.
00:59It's a good one. Whipped it over with trademark ban.
01:03Agued was forward. So too was Mavropanos in the 12th minute.
01:10West Ham knocking at the door.
01:14Wolves taking on Palace on Wednesday night.
01:19Here's the ball in by Sophal.
01:23Searching.
01:25Sophal.
01:27Kudos.
01:29Kept it in I think.
01:31Maybe it just trickled out of play. In fact, trying to pick out Danny Ings.
01:37Direct, pacy. Exciting for the Hammers fans to see.
01:43Good battle that between Kudos and Ait Nouri.
01:48Agued.
01:50Agued.
01:54Oh, now it's Larson pulling it back.
01:56And that's the only goal of the Stepside Cup 2024.
02:00And it's scored by Matheus Cunha.
02:04Leading scorer for Wolves last season.
02:07The Brazil international on target again.
02:11Played into his path.
02:13And he was never going to miss.
02:17Emphatic.
02:18Convincing.
02:19Decisive.
02:21And it's the old gold who celebrate at the Everbank Stadium.
02:26Ever so sweetly hit by Matheus Cunha.
02:31Given away.
02:33Good interception.
02:35Jürgen Larson claims the assist.
02:40Yeah, it was really good work to slot it towards Larson.
02:45And he just swept it in majestically, didn't he?
02:48Matheus Cunha.
02:49Sweet strike of the football.
02:52Here's the goal scorer, Cunha.
02:56Excellent from him again.
02:57Fabianski meets it at the cost of a corner.
03:01Cunha, lively.
03:03Really enjoying his night at the Everbank Stadium.
03:08Looking to get the better of Sophal.
03:11He did enough, did Fabianski.
03:15It will be a set-piece opportunity.
03:19Cunha.
03:21Oh, it's a lovely attacked ball by Cunha.
03:24Trying to return the compliment for Larson who set him up for his goal.
03:29Outside of the boot there.
03:30So nearly put it on a plate for the striker.
03:34Cunha strutting his stuff.
03:39Chiquinho.
03:41Has Hichan Huang available.
03:44First time ball from the substitute.
03:47Low and menacing.
03:49Mavropanos and co.
03:51Were ready for it.
03:56Good contribution from
04:00Sarabia then on dead ball duty.
04:03Uses that left boot.
04:05It was curving wickedly.
04:08And then the shot low, blasted in.
04:11Saved well by Lucas Fabianski.
04:14Cunha's chance for him to run at them.
04:17This could be an opportunity for West Ham to equalise and Cunha's superb.
04:23Brilliant stuff from him.
04:26And West Ham a level just before the break.
04:31Top quality.
04:33From the number 14.
04:35Lugana international.
04:37Showing his class.
04:39And wetting Hammers fans appetite for the new season.
04:44It's what he's all about when he gathers the ball.
04:47Runs at the opposition.
04:49Sows the seeds of doubt.
04:51And Dan Bentley unable to save it at his near post.
04:56It's been an enjoyable first half of football.
04:59West Ham on terms before the break.
05:03On terms before the break.
05:05He didn't need to go past Haight-Norrie.
05:08Good balance.
05:09Powerful, accurate strike.
05:12Too well struck for Bentley.
05:15Wolves 1.
05:16West Ham United.
05:23Bags of experience.
05:24He's one of the switches for West Ham.
05:28And Kilman just settling into his new surroundings with his new teammates.
05:33Playing it quite firmly back for Fabianski.
05:36They'll be looking to build up the communication levels.
05:43Luis Guillerme loses out.
05:47And just prepares himself.
05:50King of the dead ball situation.
05:52It's a good ball as well.
05:53Zouma met it.
05:55Emerson Palmieri keeps it alive.
05:57And then a first time hit from Maxwell Corneille.
06:01It was a decent connection.
06:03But Dan Bentley makes the save.
06:06Much love by the Hammers fans.
06:09It's good running by Chiquinho.
06:17Gets it back.
06:19Linking up with Haight-Norrie.
06:20Gets the batter of Ward-Prouse.
06:26That's a good bit of play by Totti Gomez.
06:31Maneuvering the ball nicely.
06:33Generated good power on the shot as well.
06:36Did the number 24 Totti Gomez.
06:42Smashed that.
06:44Really hammered it towards goal.
06:48But just couldn't guide it inside the post.
06:50Antonio again.
06:53Brilliant work from him.
06:57Got to the byline.
06:58And then the shot.
07:00Crushed over the bar.
07:02Wasn't far away.
07:05Orford making the burst.
07:07That will stand from the energy and brightness of Michael Antonio.
07:11Really making a difference.
07:14Good link up play.
07:18With Callum Marshall.
07:21Marshall left Orford to shoot.
07:25Snapped up from Girona last summer.
07:33That's a good hit and a decent save by Fodringham.
07:37Called into action almost immediately.
07:41It's well won.
07:42And this could be the chance for Wolves to retake the lead.
07:46And they have retaken the lead.
07:48The challenge came in.
07:50And then a brilliant strike into the roof of the net.
07:55What a hit that is.
07:58Absolutely unstoppable from Rodrigo Gomez.
08:052-1 for Wolves.
08:07Excellent attack.
08:09And the Portuguese sign from Braga.
08:13Where Neto came from.
08:15Inspired by him.
08:17And he finished like him there.
08:21What a run.
08:22By the substitute.
08:24Jean-Ricne Balagard.
08:27Gonzalo Gadez took up the play.
08:29The challenge from again.
08:32Here's Pedro Lima.
08:34Striding forward with purpose for Wolves.
08:36Looking for another goal.
08:37Lima's cross and they have got another one.
08:40And it's a second for Rodrigo Gomez.
08:43At the double.
08:45Super sub for the old gold.
08:47Excellent work by Pedro Lima.
08:50Big things expected of the teenager.
08:53Down that right-hand side.
08:55He floated over a delicious cross.
08:58And Rodrigo Gomez is in a purple patch here.
09:02He said thank you very much.
09:04He's on a hat-trick now in this pre-season fixture.
09:07Wolves are turning on the style.
09:09The youngsters really coming good.
09:13Lima released down the right side.
09:17He had a lot of time there.
09:19Ran into the space.
09:21Plenty of options.
09:23And he got it perfectly right.
09:25What a superb ball.
09:28A powerful header.
