Hwang Hee-chan created a golden opportunity, but his teammate couldn't finish it. In the 14th minute of the first half, Hwang Hee-chan aimed for an opportunity with an exquisite folding motion that tricked the defense after driving the ball into the penalty box himself. Instead of shooting directly, Hwang Hee-chan delivered an accurate pass to his teammate Larsen, who rushed in front of the gate, but Larsen failed to finish it properly and hit the defender in front of the goal. As for Hwang Hee-chan, it was a chance to score an offensive point in three consecutive games, so it was regrettable.
Wolverhampton continued to look for opportunities. In the 29th minute of the first half, Gomes' cross finished with Larsen's header in the center of the box, but it was blocked by Cells.
Nottingham rather added one goal before the end of the first half. In the 44th minute of the first half, Hudson-Odoi dribbled down the left side of Wolverhampton's defense, and Wood finished the pass from deep in the box with a left-footed shot to shake the Wolverhampton net. The first half ended with Nottingham's 2-0 lead.

In the 30th minute of the second half, Hwang Hee-chan and Guedes were brought to the bench, and Carlos Forbes and Pablo Sarabia were put in. He kept knocking on the Nottingham goal. In the 38th minute of the second half, Jean-Lichner Velegard's right foot shot flowed to the side of the net.
Nottingham sealed the game with an extra goal. In the fourth minute of the second half of extra time, James Wardprouse delivered a pass given by Hudson-Odoi to Taiwo Awoniyi in the center. Awoniyi pushed it in and scored a net goal.
