Ruben Amorim’s team required significant improvements, but their situation became considerably more challenging just two minutes into the second half when Bruno Fernandes received a second yellow card for a late challenge on Nelson Semedo, leaving them a man down. With a numerical advantage, Wolves swiftly found the back of the net, although Larsen's header was disallowed for offside, momentarily stifling their celebrations; however, the tide turned on the hour mark when Wolves took the lead in a strange turn of events, as Cunha’s inswinging corner evaded everyone, including United goalkeeper Andre Onana, allowing the ball to slip in, marking the second time in three matches that Amorim's men had conceded directly from a corner. In an effort to salvage the match, substitutes Casemiro, Antony, and Alejandro Garnacho created a few half-chances as the diminished visitors sought what seemed like an improbable equalizer, but their ongoing failure to pose a genuine threat ultimately thwarted their comeback attempt, culminating in a late breakaway goal from Hwang Hee-chan that sealed a disappointing third consecutive defeat across all competitions for United.
