From the first minutes, coach Pep Guardiola's team took the initiative and maintained continuous pressure. After a number of missed opportunities, the opening goal came in the 34th minute when Rico Lewis crossed for Haaland to easily score.
About ten minutes later, Oscar Bobb made a delicate pass to Tijjani Reijnders with a decisive shot to defeat goalkeeper Jose Sa, putting Man City in the break with a 2-goal advantage. Wolves' resistance efforts were not enough to penetrate the visitors' solid defense.
After the break, Man City continued to maintain the dominating position. In the 61st minute, Haaland moved smartly to receive a pass from Reijnders and then fired a one-touch shot to increase the score to 3-0.
When leaving the field in the second half, the Norwegian striker gave way to Rayan Cherki and this young player also left his mark. In the 81st minute, he fired a powerful long-range shot from outside the penalty area, sending the ball straight into the corner of the net, sealing a 4-0 victory for Man City.
The victory helped the defending champions start the new season convincingly, while Wolves continued to face many difficulties right from the first round.
