English professional soccer’s Wolverhampton Wanderers had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest despite Hwang Hee-chan playing the full match.
Wolverhampton drew 1-1 with Nottingham in their 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) Round 16 home match at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, England, on Tuesday (June 10).
Hwang Hee-chan played full-time in the league for the eighth consecutive game and failed to score for the second straight match.
This season, Hwang has been Wolverhampton’s “main man” and has nine goals and two assists in all competitions, including eight in the league and one in the League Cup.
With their first back-to-back wins of the season snapped, Wolverhampton sit in 12th place with 19 points.
Nottingham took the lead in the 14th minute when left-back Harry Toffolo finished off a cross from right-back Niko Williams with a high header.
Wolverhampton then equalized in the 34th minute when Mateusz Cunha finished off a Pablo Sarabia cutback with a non-stop right-footed strike.
Hwang Hee-chan, who formed a trio with Sarabia and Cunha in the center of Wolverhampton’s attack, worked diligently but failed to create many chances.
He was unlucky not to be awarded a penalty in the 31st minute when he broke through on the left side of the goal area with a powerful dribble and was tangled up by opposing defender Willy Boly.
The referee didn’t blow his whistle, even though Boly appeared to catch Hwang with his hand.
Football statistics site Footmob gave Hwang a rating of 6.2, the third-lowest among Wolverhampton’s starters, for his one shot on target.
Hooscore.com gave him a modest 6.7 rating. 메이저사이트
