Neither Everton nor Wolves could find a breakthrough before half-time as the two sides went into the interval locked at 0-0<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opening period featured plenty of physical battles, with Jackson Tchatchoua<\/strong> and Jack Grealish<\/strong> both penalized for fouls early on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everton were also forced into an unexpected change in the 38th minute when Adam Armstrong replaced the injured Ra\u00fal Jim\u00e9nez<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite both teams searching for an opening, neither could produce the decisive finish before the break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Substitutions Change the Contest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The tactical battle intensified after half-time as both managers turned to their benches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wolves introduced Nasser Djiga<\/strong> at the beginning of the second half before making further changes, while Everton brought on Brennan Johnson<\/strong> in the 58th minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important Everton substitutions arrived in the 77th minute. Tyrique George replaced Grealish<\/strong>, while Carlos Alcaraz came on for Hayden Hackney<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just three minutes later, Alcaraz made an immediate impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 80th minute<\/strong>, Tyler Dibling created the opportunity and Alcaraz finished to put Everton 1-0 ahead<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It proved to be the defining moment of the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wolves had little time to respond, and Everton protected their narrow advantage through the closing stages. A late foul by Tommy Doyle in stoppage time<\/strong> was among the final notable incidents before Everton completed the victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result sends the Toffees through to the next stage of the 2026\/27 EFL Cup<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everton Show Knockout Resilience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This was not a spectacular victory built on a flood of goals. Instead, Everton demonstrated the patience required to survive a difficult knockout fixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the match still goalless deep into the second half, their changes proved decisive. Alcaraz needed only a few minutes on the pitch to transform the tie, while Dibling’s contribution to the winning goal highlighted Everton’s ability to find solutions from their squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Wolves, the defeat will be frustrating. They remained competitive for most of the encounter but were ultimately punished when Everton found the breakthrough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
