Wolverhampton, who had maintained the offensive, immediately scored the first goal and began to take the lead. In the 10th minute of the first half, Bristol defenders managed to clear the ball out, but João Gómez took the ball back. He immediately attempted a sharp cross in front of the net, and Aitnuri pushed the ball into the header and scored the first goal.
Wolverhampton widened the gap by adding another goal. In the 21st minute of the first half, Gedds, who entered the right side of the penalty in the Wolverhampton counterattack, gave up a cutback pass to Hodrigo Gomes, who ran from behind, and Gomes finished with a shot and shook the Bristol net.
Bristol also scored one goal back and gained momentum before heading into half-time. In the 45th minute of the first half, Hwang Hee-chan committed a foul while defending near the penalty box and allowed a free kick. Bristol, who had a chance to free-kick just in front of the box, put Twine as the kicker, and Twine's sharp right footed shot was sucked over the defensive wall and into the Wolverhampton net. The first half ended with Wolverhampton leading 2-1.
