Wolves struck first in the <strong>43rd minute<\/strong> when <strong>Rodrigo Gomes<\/strong> pounced to give the hosts a 1-0 lead. Earlier in the same minute, <strong>Hwang Hee-Chan<\/strong> had a chance to open the scoring but missed a crucial penalty\u2014a moment that could have shifted momentum early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second half burst into life. <strong>Tomas Soucek<\/strong>, assisted by <strong>Kyle Walker-Peters<\/strong>, leveled for West Ham in the <strong>50th minute<\/strong>. Wolves\u2019 defense wavered, and just 20 minutes later, <strong>Lucas Paquet\u00e1<\/strong> put the visitors ahead 2-1, courtesy of an assist from <strong>Jarrod Bowen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Wolves were not done. Danish forward <strong>Jens Stryger Larsen<\/strong> became the hero of the night. He equalized in the <strong>82nd minute<\/strong> and then completed his brace just two minutes later with an assist from <strong>Tchatchoua<\/strong>, sealing the dramatic 3-2 victory. West Ham\u2019s late substitutions could not alter the scoreline, and Wolves held firm to book their place in the next round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/tz\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GzTjCf7XMAAdeMX.jpg\" alt=\"Wolves Edge West Ham 3-2 in Thrilling EFL Cup 1\/32-Finals Clash\" class=\"wp-image-5727\" style=\"width:831px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/tz\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GzTjCf7XMAAdeMX.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/tz\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GzTjCf7XMAAdeMX-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/tz\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GzTjCf7XMAAdeMX-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo courtesy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Stats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Final Score:<\/strong> Wolves 3-2 West Ham<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Goals:<\/strong> Gomes (43\u2019), Soucek (50\u2019), Paquet\u00e1 (70\u2019), Larsen (82\u2019, 84\u2019)<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Missed Penalty:<\/strong> Hwang Hee-Chan (43\u2019)<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Possession:<\/strong> Fairly balanced, with Wolves taking their chances late on<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Decisive Factor:<\/strong> Wolves\u2019 substitutions and Larsen\u2019s lethal finishing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lineups and Tactical Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wolves fielded a mix of first-team regulars and cup rotation players, with <strong>Jo\u00e3o Gomes<\/strong> and <strong>Gomes R.<\/strong> orchestrating the midfield.
