Wolves defender Hugo Bueno struck as they drew 1-1 with Empoli in their World Cup friendly on Saturday.

Julen Lopetegui picked a strong starting eleven following a late change of venue and delayed kick-off due to a waterlogged pitch following heavy overnight rain.

Joao Moutinho took the captain's armband in the absence of Ruben Neves and there were starts for Gonalo Guedes, Adama Traore and Diego Costa in a front three.

In the first-half, Bueno unleashed a stunning left-footed strike from the edge of the box into the bottom corner giving keeper Samir Ujkani no chance.

Empoli almost equalised before the break when Liam Henderson's free-kick deflected off Nathan Collins and onto the crossbar with Matija Sarkic beaten.

In the second-half, Empoli scored a deserved equaliser through Sam Lammers.

A clever ball over the top of Wolves' defence exposed their high line and the Dutchman expertly controlled the ball on the edge of the box and curled a delightful shot into the far corner giving Sarkic no chance.
