Beat Wolves 3-1, Liverpool Secure FA Cup Quarter Final Ticket

JAKARTA - Liverpool ensured their move to the 2025/26 FA Cup quarter-finals after defeating Wolverhampton Wanderers with a score of 3-1 in the fifth round at Molineux Stadium on Saturday, March 7 morning WIB.

The Reds' three goals were scored by Andy Robertson, Mohamed Salah, and Curtis Jones. Meanwhile, Wolves could only respond at the end of the second half through Hwang Hee-chan's goal.

Quoted by Antara, Liverpool coach Arne Slot made four changes from the team that previously lost 1-2 to Wolves a few days ago.

One interesting decision was to bring down young striker Rio Ngumoha as a starter. Meanwhile, Florian Wirtz returned to the bench after recovering from a back injury.

Liverpool dominated throughout the first half. However, until the break the two teams were still tied without a goal.

Liverpool finally broke the deadlock in the 51st minute. The goal started from a quick counterattack involving Salah and Jones before the ball was passed to Andy Robertson, who finished with a hard left foot shot.

Only two minutes later, Liverpool doubled the lead. This time Robertson gave an assist to Salah who scored a goal from close range. The goal was considered offside by the linesman, but VAR confirmed it. The score became 2-0

Liverpool got further away in the 73rd minute through Jones. The English midfielder dribbled the ball from the right side to the middle before firing a flat left foot shot that nestled in the Wolves goal. The score became 3-0.

Wolves finally scored an entertaining goal in the second half injury time through Hwang Hee-chan.

The goal started from a long pass from goalkeeper Sam Johnstone which was controlled by Hwang behind Liverpool's defense before defeating Alisson Becker. The score of 3-1 for Liverpool's victory lasted until the end of the match.
