In a rare misstep, Matheus Cunha’s performance for Wolves against Brighton was less than stellar as he conceded a crucial penalty. Despite his usual role as an inspiration for Vitor Pereira, Cunha struggled along with several other Wolves players during the 2-0 loss at Molineux.
During the match, Cunha’s mistake led to a penalty for Brighton after a failed attempt to receive a pass resulted in the Seagulls taking advantage of the situation. The Brazilian was fortunate to escape with only a yellow card for a foul in the box, with many, including pundits Gary Lineker and Shay Given, believing he should have been shown a red card.
Cunha, who has already faced suspensions earlier in the season, acknowledged his poor performance against Brighton and apologized to fans. Another suspension would have been disastrous for his future, especially considering his upcoming transfer and the need to end his time at Wolves positively.
Clubs interested in Cunha may be cautious due to his disciplinary record, making it crucial for him to finish the season on a high note. As he looks towards a potential move in the summer, Cunha must work to prove himself and secure a positive outcome for his time at Molineux.
