Wolverhampton won 2-0 against Blackburn in the round of 32 of the 2024-2025 FA Cup at Ewood Park in Blackburn, England on the 9th (Korea time).
Wolverhampton started with a 3-4-2-1 formation. Matheus Cunha, Hwang Hee-chan, Gonzalo Gedes, Rodrigo Gomes, João Gomes, Jean-Likner Velegaard, Nelsong Semedu, Emmanuel Agbadu, Santiago Bueno, Toti Gomes and Sam Johnstone started.
Wolverhampton scored the opening goal. Hwang Hee-chan, who received a pass near the penalty arc in the 32nd minute of the first half, handed the ball to Gomes, who was penetrating from the left. Gomes drove the ball in once and scored with an accurate shot.

Hwang Hee-chan collapsed. In the extra time of the first half, Hwang Hee-chan sat down on the field as he grabbed his leg. Hwang Hee-chan was no longer able to play, and walked out of the stadium with a look full of disappointment.
As soon as the second half started, Pablo Sarabha entered instead of Hwang Hee-chan. Since then, the score has not been scored anymore, and Wolverhampton's 2-0 win ended the game.
Hwang Hee-chan failed to show his form early this season due to injuries. This is because he injured his ankle against Jordan in the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 World Cup in North Korea and the U.S. in October last year.
Since then, he has not been able to regain his proper form and has been pushed out of the competition for the starting lineup of his team. He tried to rebound as he was given a chance to start for the first time in a long time, but his injury was hampered again.
