“Very pleased with the performance,” Howe said.

“We had to stay patient, control transitions, and keep our focus. Wolves challenged us, but I think we handled the game well.”

Head coach Vitor Pereira expressed pride in his team’s effort despite the result.

“The score doesn’t reflect the game,” Pereira said.

“We created many chances and showed a lot of fight. The confidence will come, and with it, the goals.”
