Coventry City recorded a sensational 3-2 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in a dramatic match in the FA Cup quarter-finals. The match which took place at the Molineux Stadium Saturday, March 16, witnessed Coventry scoring two goals in extra time to turn things around and advance to the semifinals of England's most prestigious competition.

The match started with an attack from Wolves, where Mario Lemina and Nelson Semedo missed several golden opportunities. However, Coventry defended firmly and even almost opened the scoring through Ellis Simms, who unfortunately failed to take advantage of his chances well.

In the 53rd minute, Coventry finally managed to open the scoring through Simms. The goal was controversial because Simms was seen touching the ball with his hand before converting it into a goal. However, after a long VAR review, the referee decided to pass the goal, giving the visitors the advantage.

Coventry dominated the game and almost doubled their lead, but Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa performed brilliantly with several important saves. Sa managed to thwart Haji Wright and threatening Callum O'Hare's efforts.

In the 83rd minute, Wolves equalized through Rayan Ait-Nouri after an error from the Coventry defense. As the game headed towards extra time, Wolves managed to turn things around with a quick goal from Hugo Bueno in the 92nd minute, apparently leading them to victory.

However, Coventry showed their strong character and with extraordinary determination, they managed to score two goals in extra time. In the 96th minute, Simms equalized with an accurate header after a cross from Bobby Thomas. And just four minutes later, Simms became a hero for Coventry by baiting Wright who successfully changed the score to 3-2 for Coventry.

This dramatic victory saw the Coventry step into the FA Cup semifinals for the first time since 1987. Their covetry and supporters celebrate this incredible victory, while Wolves had to swallow a bitter defeat after a tough and passionate match.
