JAKARTA - Wolverhampton Wanderers eliminated West Bromwich Albion in the fourth round of the FA Cup. In the Black Country Derby at West Brom at The Hawthorns Stadium, Sunday, January 28, 2024 evening WIB, Wolves won 2-0. Only the match was stopped because of a fight between supporters. This derby match was hot and tight. Because this is the first time Black Country Derby has been held again after a decade the two teams have never met in an official match. No wonder the two fans have been waiting for the match.

Meanwhile, in the match itself, West Brom, who competed in the Championship Division, tried to surprise Wolves. However, the team, who had stopped by in the English Premier League, was unable to keep up with their guests.

West Brom not only lost. They were also unable to host the match well and safely.

The match was marked by chaos by supporters when West Brom trailed 2-0. At that time, Wolves were already ahead when Pedro Neto scored in the 38th minute. Score 1-0 for Wolves lasted until the first half was over.

Furthermore, Wolves, who maintained their performance, were still able to control the second half match. Even the visitors managed to increase their lead in the 78th minute. The second goal was produced by Matheus Cunha who completed Max Kilman's assist.

But in a 2-0 position for Wolves, the atmosphere in the stadium heated up. Especially before Wolves player Tommy Doyle was thrown with bottles of minerals several times when he was about to take a corner.

As a result of the throw, it hit a ball boy who then received treatment.

The situation got hotter after Wolves supporters started the break to celebrate the second goal. Previously, supporters did the same thing when they created the first goal.

Only the acne then led to the host supporters. Shortly thereafter, supporters of the two teams attacked each other.

Some even went to the field so that it created a chaos situation. Officers are busy controlling the situation.

ITV Commentator Sam Matterface said, "I don't remember the last time this happened in a match in England."

The player himself then entered the dressing room. The match was stopped for 38 minutes. After the situation subsided, the two teams negotiated before the match was decided to resume. The score remained 2-0 until the end of the match.
