Coventry City 1 (Ward 17)
Wolves 1 (Ebanks-Blake pen 52)
Wolves' play-off hopes will go down to the wire following the point they took from a one all draw with Coventry City at The Ricoh Arena.
Whilst Mick McCarthy's men will be hoping for three points from their final League fixture of the campaign against Plymouth, there will be no shortage of a demand for news from the games involving Crystal Palace and Watford - the two teams that Wolves can catch to claim a top six placing.
Wolves were unchanged as they defended the end of the Ricoh Stadium that housed 5,000 travelling supporters.
Sylvan Ebanks-Blake got in the first goal attempt of the game in the second minute when he took a long clearance from Gary Breen and shot over the near angle from the left of the City goal.
After just nine minutes Darron Gibson went into the book for tripping Jay Tabb whilst a similar challenge on Matt Jarvis by Isaac Osbourne a few seconds later was punished only by a free-kick.
Elliott Ward's attempted clearance from Michael Kightly's cross went behind for the first of two successive Wolves corners. Both were taken by Kightly with Breen's hook getting deflected behind from the first and Gibson's volley cannoning clear off a defender after the second had been headed out.
Ward, the brother of Wolves' Darren, figured once more as he gave the Sky Blues a 17th minute lead.
He was fouled by Seyi Olofinjana just inside the visitors half and, after the Molineux midfielder had joined Gibson in the book, Stephen Hughes floated the free-kick into the area where Ward's back-header beat Wayne Hennessey.
Matt Jarvis curled an angled effort over the bar after he had been fed by Gibson, and George Elokobi had to head clear a Michael Mifsud cross as Leon Best ran in.
Wolves were inches away from an equaliser in the 37th minute when Andy Keogh's header bounced off the floor and just over the bar following a fine centre from Jarvis.
Gibson was wide with a low 20-yard drive after Kightly had laid the ball into his path in the 37th minute, but there was little else in the way of goalmouth action before the break.
Half-Time: Coventry 1 Wolves 0
Wanderers made a brighter start to the second-half with the home defence having to clear crosses from Kightly and Kevin Foley before City's Danny Fox took two corners in quick succession with Gibson eventually clearing the danger.
In the 51st minute Wolves drew level through an Ebanks-Blake spot kick. There were no protests from the City players when Scott Dann upended Kightly for an obvious penalty (pictured) and Ebanks-Blake beat Kasper Schmeichel with ease to register his 12th goal for the club.
Seven minutes later Keogh almost gave his side the lead as he ran on to Kightly free-kick and hit a first-time volley that was brilliantly saved by Schmeichel who deflected the ball onto the top of the bar.
Kightly was causing countless problems for the City defence and, after Michael Doyle had been yellow carded for tripping him, the winger wasn't far away with a 20-yard ground shot.
After a tame opening half the game had turned into an end to end affair with Mifsud dragging a shot wide before Ebanks-Blake volleyed over after a build up involving Keogh and Kightly.
In the 70th minute, Hennessey was quickly off his line to block from Mifsud who was clean through and after Stephen Hughes had been booked for fouling Jarvis, Breen made a vital last gasp tackle on Tabb who would have had the goal at his mercy had the Wolves skipper not intervened.
Kightly was replaced by Michael Gray for the closing stages as play continued to have the large crowd on the edges of their seats.
Hennessey made a great save to beat away Mifsud's 12-yard drive before Schmeichel made a hash of his attempt to keep out Gray's curling long range effort with the ball spinning off the keeper and out for a corner.
Hennessey was forced into another full length save to deny Mifsud before Ebanks-Blake almost won it for Wolves with virtually the last kick of the game.
His low shot looked destined for the bottom corner of the net until Schmeichel somehow got down to block before pouncing on the loose ball.
