On July 20, 2019, Wolves secured a thrilling victory over Manchester City in the Premier League Asia Trophy, winning 3-2 in a penalty shootout.

Wolves' goalkeeper Rui Patricio was the hero of the match, making several crucial saves throughout the game, including a deep cut to the face that required a lengthy injury stoppage.

Despite City's bright start, Wolves managed to hold their ground, with Patricio making two saves in quick succession to deny Rodri and Sterling.

The second half was a quieter affair, with Wolves edging the chances, but neither side could force a winner in normal time.

The game went to a penalty shootout, where Patricio continued to shine, saving three of City's five penalties, including the final effort from Lukas Nmecha, to seal a first Premier League Asia Trophy win for Wolves.
