A match awaited by many to see Regis Le Bris’ team compete again, where he has been fundamental in Sunderland’s work in the current Premier League season.

In a match with high expectations, the Black Cats did not disappoint and achieved a fantastic 2-0 victory, defeating Wolverhampton in a game where Sunderland had great complications in the second half, as the visitors dominated much of the match but failed to score against the great goalkeeper Robin Roefs.

In the first half, Sunderland did their job and scored the goal that gave them a partial advantage. Defender Nordi Mukiele scored the 1-0 in the 16th minute, showing that he is not only a defender but also a good finisher in front of the goal. Near the end of the match, Wolverhampton had misfortune when Ladislav Krejčí scored an own goal, making it 2-0 final.
