At the end of the first half, Arsenal suffered a major blow. In the 42nd minute, Skelly stepped on the ankle of Wolves player Doherty during a defense. The referee Oliver decisively showed a red card, and Arsenal would have to play with one less player for the rest of the game.

In the 53rd minute, Rice intercepted the ball in the midfield and shot directly, forcing Wolves goalkeeper Josesa to make a wonderful save. Despite the obvious numerical disadvantage, Arsenal showed tenacious defensive discipline and strong ability to withstand pressure.

In the 63rd minute, Wolves almost broke the deadlock. Cunha got the ball at the back post in a corner attack, but his shot was slightly off target, missing a great scoring opportunity. Despite Wolves' constant pressure, Arsenal remained highly focused on the defense and withstood the opponent's multiple attacks.

The turning point of the game came in the 70th minute, when Wolves' Gomez was sent off for accumulating two yellow cards, and the two sides returned to an equal number of players. Arsenal quickly seized the opportunity and scored the winning goal in the 74th minute. Martinelli sent a precise cross from the right, but Wolves defender Semedo failed to clear the ball, and the ball fell to Calafiori's feet, who calmly pushed the ball into the goal to help Arsenal take the lead. This crucial goal boosted Arsenal's morale, and Wolves failed to equalize the score in the remaining time.
