Wolverhampton survived a nervous night at Molineux stadium to reach their first European quarter-final in 48 years as Raul Jimenez’s early penalty earned them a 2-1 aggregate win against Olympiakos in the Europa League.
The Mexican’s precise eighth-minute effort, after Daniel Podence had been fouled by Olympiakos’ stand-in keeper Bobby Allain, was his 27th goal of the season and the earliest Wolves had scored in any game during a marathon season that began on July 25 last year and will now extend to a 59th game.
And so their marvelous European journey moves on to the ‘final eight’ tournament and a quarter-final meeting with Sevilla in Duisburg on Tuesday.
