Report | Wolves 1-2 Levante (wolves.co.uk)

Although billed as a behind closed doors training match, Wolves versus Levante turned into one of the most eventful pre-season games in memory as the teams ...

The players in gold and black came from a free-kick which was kept alive by Toti, before being lifted back into the penalty area, but Boly was unable to direct the ball goalbound. Having done well for the previous effort, Toti was the man to find the back of the net with less than 10 minutes remaining. There was nothing Wolves could do to stop Giorgi Kochorashvili’s effort from 20 yards out, as he hit a sweetly struck finish into the top corner and past Smith’s outstretched arms. On came senior pros in Conor Coady and Willy Boly, together with some of the favourite names from James Collins’ under-21s, such as Dexter Lembikisa, Harvey Griffiths and Joe Hodge. The first opportunity on goal for either team came from an indirect free-kick following a Levante back pass. Just before the break, chaos erupted as Mosquera took another heavy challenge, but the defender reacted, earning himself a red card.

Lage hands captain's armband to Gibbs-White against Levante (Molineux News)

There is a lot of speculation right now, and it is not a given Gibbs-White will still be a Wolves player come the end of the transfer window. The Belgian was the oldest in the team and is obviously an experienced first-teamer. And interestingly, Gibbs-White was handed the captain’s armband for the contest.

Cundle operated further forward, as he did with the under-23s last season, and showed some lovely touches in the first half. A very encouraging outing for Lembikisa, who marauded forward down Wolves' right in the second half. He started as a false nine before drifting over to the right. Corbeanu was Wolves' biggest attacking threat after the break and thundered one shot against a Levante defender after some nice work out wide. He made amends with a powerful header late on to reduce the arrears. The Colombian youngster needed to keep a cool head, and he momentarily lost it.
