Then, in the dying seconds of the match, Simms turned provider, setting up Callum O’Hare’s cross for Wright. With a swift and precise strike, Wright bent the ball beyond the reach of Wolves’ goalkeeper, Jose Sa, securing Coventry’s place in the semi-finals.
The Coventry City players erupted in celebration, embracing Wright as they realized the magnitude of their achievement. Their journey to Wembley was complete, and the fans could not have asked for a more thrilling and dramatic victory.
