Wolves 1(2) - (1)0 Olympiacos: Post Match Analysis
Wolves have done it and they are in the Quarter Final of the Europa League.
They had their backs against the wall tonight but they stood firm and stuck it out. Not the best performance but the job has been done by the Midlands side, and they will play Sevilla in the next round next week.
IT'S ALL OVER
FT' - It's all over and Wolves are in the Quarter Final of the UEFA Europa League!!
What a game.
Into the last minute...
90+5 minutes have gone here. Almost over here at The Molineux.
Visitors come close
90+1' Elabdellaoui strikes a volley into the side netting from just inside the box. It's nail biting times for Wolves here.
Added Time.
90' SIX MINUTES has been added onto the end of this game. Going to be the longest six minutes of Wolves' fans lives.
Wolves need a change!!
84' Wolves looking a bit lacklustre going forward. They need a spark up front, one which Pedro Neto could provide them with.
HUGE SAVE!!
80' RUI PATRICIO YOU BEAUTY!!
A cross into the box found a Olympiacos striker who had a free header from the six yards box, but Patricio flung himself to the rescue and palmed it away!!
HUGE CHANCE!!
78' Huge chance for both sides.
Diogo Jota latches on to a poor backpass from Cisse but can't find a way round the keeper as he falls over his own foot. Olympiacos go up the other end come close with a shot from El Arabi.
Nervous times for Wolves fans.
Podence receivesa yellow.
Daniel Podence receives a yellow card after being substituted for not taking the shortest route off the pitch. This means he will miss the next round of the Europa League. Harsh.
It's getting tense...

BIG MISS!!
66' Olympiakos come so close.
El Arabi spins Conor Coady in the box but fires his shot wide of the post. Looked for certain that it was going in.
Wolves come close again
63' Wolves come close again. Ruben Neves shows his class by picking out Doherty in space who found Jota whose deflected effort almost landed at the feet of Boly at the far post.
Podence comes close
60' Daniel Podence finds a little bit of space outside the penalty area and fires the shot in, but it is a strong wrist from Allain to palm it over. Wolves in control here.
Special occasion tonight for the Magic Man
A big night for @JoaoMoutinho as he makes his 100th appearance in gold & black.

Half time stats...
Wolves have only had 34% possession in the first half, along with their 6 shots, 2 on target. On the other hand Olympiacos have had 66% possession whilst having 5 shots, 2 on target.
And thats half time!!
45' And that is half time at The Molineux. Wolves have looked nervy at times but have the lead and as it stands they will be advancing to the quarter finals of the UEFA Europa League, 2-1 on aggregate.
CONFIDENCE!!
Just Raul Jimenez attempting a rabona from outside the box.

We're having some problems
Unfortunately, we are having some problems with delay. The updates we are putting out seem to be coming out slowly. Please bare with us as we try and fix the problem.
Raul you cheeky boy
41' WOW!!
Raul Jimenez chooses the Rabona over the left footed shot from the edge of the box and it just goes over the bar. That would have been something!!
5 minutes until the break
40' Only five minutes until the half time break. Both sides have played well in this first half, both having chances. It will be interesting to see how both sides come out.
Olympiacos come forward again
A ball crossed into the box from a set piece which almost finds the head of Cisse who had a free header. Luckily for Wolves the cross was too high. Wolves living dangerously here.
VAR Drama
31' VAR rules the goal out for offside in the build up. It is another one of those toenail ones!!
It's a huge lifeline for Wolves.
Vital goal for Olympiacos
30' The ball was whipped across the face of goal and stroked home by Camara at the back post. VAR having a close look for offside in the build up.
GOALLLLL
29' Olympiacos draw level!!
Tricky Vinagre

16' Wolves' defender Jonny Otto hobbles off the pitch after picking up a nasty knock. He is replaced by Ruben Vinagre.
Important foul...

09' Raul Jimenez converts from the spot calmly, sending Allain the wrong way.
GOALLLLLLL
08' WOLVES TAKE THE LEAD!!
PENALTY TO WOLVES

A mistake from the Olympiacos goalkeeper allows Podence to nip in and take the ball, resulting in a foul and a penalty.
Even contest so far...
Only four minutes of the second leg gone, but it has been very end to end so far. Both sides know what is on the line here and don't want to put a foot wrong.
Wolves come close already.
01' Raul Jimenez finds himself in a small pocket of space and strikes a volley just past the right hand post.
