After the game started, Wolves were not in a hurry to press forward, and Newcastle was not in a hurry either. Both sides played cautiously at the beginning.

Both players made relatively more mistakes on the court. The ball flew back and forth in the middle, and the ball possession changed frequently. In the first 10 minutes, both sides had one shot, both of which were ridiculously high. Wei Le and Benitez were not worried, and they did not expect the score to change soon.

Mitrovic has become an indispensable member of the Wolves' defense line. Mitrovic's strength is indeed very strong. In the 14th minute, he rushed left and right in the Wolves' defense line, and Van der Beck couldn't stop him even with pulling and dragging. In the situation of three people double-teaming, Mitrovic successfully found a moment of space!

Mitrovic passed the ball to Richie who was flanking on the right side in the three-person double-teaming. The latter met the ball and shot it, and the shot eventually went above the goal range.

In the 19th minute, Almiron received a through ball from Godfrey on the left, he turned around and rushed into the penalty area!

"Stop him quickly, don't let him go out of the angle!" Goalkeeper Darlow called out.

Russells wanted to push Almiron out of the penalty area, but he didn't expect that as soon as he touched Almiron's jersey, he felt that the person in front of him suddenly disappeared!

Why is he so slippery?

Russells certainly knew that Almiron in front of him was not a loach, but just now Almiron suddenly turned around and broke through in front of him, and he couldn't even catch the opponent's jersey!

It felt like a slippery loach struggling out of his hand.

Almiron briefly shook off Russells, and then glanced at the middle road. He probably saw two yellow figures in the middle. He felt that Russells behind him caught up again, and Clark on the other side also came to block, time waits for no one!

"Almiron's cross! Jota received it... and missed it! Bowen!"

Bowen received the ball at the other end of the penalty area. He faced the goal and made a slight adjustment!

Bowen stopped the ball a little far back, so he pushed the ball to the right, shaking the angle of the shot, and then kicked it!

Darlow flew to save the ball. The angle of this shot was relatively small. Darlow's right hand saved the ball out of the penalty area, and the Newcastle United players who came later quickly cleared the ball out of the danger zone.

Bowen stomped his foot on the ground in frustration. He was indeed a little flustered about this ball. The shooting action was a little deformed. In the end, he hit a half-high ball with a not tricky angle. If Darlow didn't save this ball, it would be Darlow's own problem.

Almiron grinned and gave a thumbs up. He basically had a grinning facial expression during the game, and some people interpreted it as him smiling all the time. Almiron was indeed smiling, and he was satisfied with his state today.

In the 24th minute, after Wolves lost the ball in the frontcourt, Newcastle launched a counterattack. Shelvey sent a long pass to the front of the penalty area from the left side of Newcastle, just past the center line.

Coady and Mitrovic jumped up at the same time to compete for the ball. Mitrovic stood in front of Coady, taking advantage of a position, and threw the ball to the middle!

The ball was thrown high and floating, so the forward midfielder Diame leaned against the goal, Ritchie inserted from his left side, taking away Rodri's attention, and Diame passed the ball back to Atsu with the help of Ruben Dias!

Atsu took advantage of the time when the ball bounced off the ground and chose to shoot directly!

The shot outside the penalty area did hit the spot, but the ball was still too straight. Martinez hugged the ball directly in his arms, and he fell to the ground holding the ball. Don't say it, it really hurts.

This goal was a clarion call. In the following minutes, Newcastle played a little more open. Three or four minutes later, Wolves were pressed by Newcastle in the backcourt, and Doherty passed the ball straight to Rodri.

Shelvey took the lead and rushed out from the back to intercept the ball, and kicked it to Richie who was waiting in front. Richie turned around and saw Mitrovic's position. He just wanted to pass the ball, but Rodri reached out and pulled him down.

Craig Pawson ran over to show Rodri a yellow card, which caused a round of boos. But there was really no room for rebuttal for this goal. Rodri did not argue with the referee and ran directly to form a human wall.

"Craig Pawson is also interesting. This English referee made his Premier League debut in 2013, when he refereed the match between Newcastle United and Swansea City. The fact that an international referee was able to referee this Championship match also reflects the attention paid to this Championship focus match."

After Martin Taylor finished speaking, he took advantage of the gap in the wall of people to, and I also asked the two commentators about their opinions on the development of the game so far.

"I think it's good." Lineker said succinctly.

"I think it's good too." Alan Shearer also said, "Newcastle and Wolves have been attacking and defending each other during this period. We are both fascinated by it. This is indeed not an ordinary Championship League."

"I believe that the competitiveness shown by the two teams is far beyond the level of the Championship. The champion will probably come from them. No matter who is the champion, they should have the opportunity to be promoted directly to the top two." Lineker took over the conversation, "I wish them good luck in the next game."

Shelvey set up the ball.

The brightest (physical sense) midfielder on the field has a long shot. The referee blew the whistle, and Shelvey's run-up shot even left an afterimage in front of the camera lens, and the ball eventually missed the goal.

Shelvey felt very sorry, and he must have been unwilling to accept it. A few minutes later, he tested Martinez with another long shot. In the 33rd minute, Shelvey dribbled past the defender outside the penalty area and shot, causing Martinez to dive sideways, eventually resulting in a corner kick.

"Is the first half over?" Lineker was a little depressed about the first half with both sides attacking and defending but no goals. He thought the score would be rewritten in the first half, but now the time has come to 40 minutes and the score is still a dull 0-0.

As if hearing Lineker's complaints, Wolves suddenly accelerated. This time it was Rodri who received the ball in the middle. He looked back and then passed it back to the central defender.

Rodri kept turning his head to observe. After he passed the ball, he moved back secretly, walked behind two Newcastle players, and then suddenly raised his hand to ask.

Coady passed the ball back. This time Rodri would not pass it back. He led the ball and turned around, pushed the ball outward, and passed it to the right winger Bowen. Bowen looked up and saw that his position was too good!

There was a large space in front of him. In addition to the left-back Dumet, there was the Newcastle United penalty area! So Bowen was not ambiguous, and he cut inside with the ball and rushed to Dumet's position!

Dumet watched the distance between Bowen and him getting shorter and shorter, and concentrated on preventing Bowen from breaking through him, so he kept slowly retreating without rushing to grab the ball.

But Bowen didn't seem to think of him at all! He passed the ball directly to the left!

Here, Van der Beck inserted and shot! The ball hit the center back Clark and flew out horizontally! Is this attack over? Not yet!

Jota carried Russells and gritted his teeth to reach the ball. He nudged Russells with his buttocks, then pounced forward and pulled away from the young captain!

Jota adjusted his staggering steps, and then kicked the ball to the middle and lower part of the ball! ! !

"Van de Beek shoots! The ball is blocked, Jota follows up, pushes Jamal (Lascelles), and twists into the penalty area! Then he... shoots——"

Daro ran a few steps, and he felt something was wrong when he saw Jota's shot!

But this ball... although the power is not great, the angle is tricky! The football can be seen with the naked eye drawing an inner arc... and it is hung in the dead corner of the goal in front of Darlo!

This is a clever shot!!!

"The ball is in!!! Jota!!! Diogo Jota's shot!!!!"
