Wolverhampton won, but 'Bull' Hee-chan Hwang (29, Wolverhampton) did not even participate.
Wolverhampton defeated home team Ipswich Town 2-1 in the '2024-25 Premier League Round 31' held at Portman Road in Ipswich, England, on the 6th. With 32 points, Wolverhampton is 17th and still at risk of relegation. Ipswich Town (20 points) is 18th and in the relegation zone.
In the two matches held after the international match break, Hee-chan Hwang did not get a chance to participate in either. Hwang was included in the substitute list against Ipswich but ultimately received no playing time. Although Hwang announced his comeback by scoring the opening goal in the match against Oman, he has not received any opportunities with his team.
Wolverhampton conceded their first goal to Delap just 16 minutes into the first half. Wolverhampton, trailing 0-1, desperately needed an equalizer, but Hwang was not substituted in.
Pablo Sarabia, who was brought in at the 20th minute of the second half, changed the momentum of the game. Sarabia scored the equalizer in the 27th minute of the second half, altering the atmosphere. Energized, Wolverhampton succeeded in a dramatic turnaround in the 39th minute of the second half when Strand Larsen scored the winning goal.
Wolverhampton, who were looking to solidify their lead, used several substitution cards, but Hwang was not brought in until the end. Ultimately, Hwang did not play a single second after returning to the UK.
This season, Hee-chan Hwang has appeared in 18 league matches, but he has only started 5 times. He has only played full-time once. With just 2 league goals, he has become a situation where he cannot even guarantee his playing time.
