# Wolverhampton Wanderers: Fans rave over youngster Bruno Jordao

**Wolverhampton Wanderers fans were raving over the performance of Bruno Jordao in the penalty shootout victory over Reading in the Carabao Cup.**

The 20-year-old played 42 minutes in the victory, even opening the scoring against the Royals with a strike from 25 yards that slipped through the hands of goalkeeper Joao Virginia [(via BBC)](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49736851).

Jordao suffered disappointment later on as he was stretchered off with an ankle injury, confirmed by manager Nuno Espirito Santo.

He said: “Bruno was different. Someone fell on him, he twisted his ankle. Let’s wait and see.” [(Source: Birmingham Mail)](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/jordao-shabani-wolves-injury-news-16983099)

Despite his early substitution, Jordao completed 23 passes at a rate of 87%, also playing one key pass in the process [(via WhoScored)](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1426733/Live/England-League-Cup-2019-2020-Wolverhampton-Wanderers-Reading).

The Portuguese under-21 international has been at the Molineux since signing in a joint-deal alongside Pedro Neto from Serie A side Lazio for a fee of [€20m (roughly £17.8m)](https://thelaziali.com/2019/08/02/official-wolves-pedro-neto-bruno-jordao/).

Fans praised the performance of the [£2.25m-rated](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bruno-jordao/leistungsdaten/spieler/415646) Jordao despite his early substitution as they took to Twitter to react.

Here is a selection of tweets from the Molineux faithful:

> Best player on the pitch until he went off. Got to be in the squad for games in the future! Certainly can challenge Neves, Moutinho and Dendoncker

> Really good. Played really well and linked up play to push forward. Just hope his injury is not to bad and we see him in the first team soon.

> I liked his movement and vision. Reminded me of a VERY young Eden Hazard. And loved the first chant of “Bruno” since Mark Rankine’s days!
