Charleroi 1 (Tormena 59)
Wolves 2 (Doyle 52, Edwards 83)
Wolves had to work hard for their friendly victory over Charleroi but headed goals from Kevin Doyle and Dave Edwards, both after long throws from Greg Halford, made it three wins out of three in eight days for the Molineux men.
There were around 300 Wolves supporters behind Carl Ikeme's goal as the hosts kicked-off on a cloudless evening.
In the opening four minutes Charleroi had two half chances but Cyril Thereau's angled drive and Alessandro Cordaro's header presented little trouble for Ikeme.
The first corner of the game went Wolves way but home keeper Cyprien Baguette punched clear and he did likewise moments later, taking the ball off the head of Sam Vokes after a cross from Matt Jarvis.
From another Jarvis centre, Stephen Ward was well wide with a header and after Massimo Moia had fouled Jarvis a yard to the right of the home area, Baguette used his fists again to clear a driven, angled free-kick from Dave Jones.
A slip by Jody Craddock almost presented Charleroi with the opening goal. The defender trod on the ball allowing Thereau to break clear but, from the edge of the box, he shot wide.
The Belgian team were awarded a free-kick just outside the Wolves box and Peter Franquart hit a terrific curling shot that was inches too high. Seconds later, as play swung to the other end, Vokes sent a first-time volley high and wide.
In the 27th minute a powerful header from Vokes drew a full length save from Baguette but the corner conceded, taken by Jarvis, came to nothing.
Christophe Berra went into the book for an untidy challenge on Orlando Dossantoscosta and, after Baguette had 'lost' a long throw from Jelle Van Damme resulting in a scramble in the home box before the ball was eventually cleared, Naim Aarab was yellow carded for a foul on Vokes.
Half-Time: Charleroi 0 Wolves 0
Mick McCarthy made eight changes for the start of the second-half with just Ikeme, Craddock and Berra continuing.
Wolves moved ahead in the 52nd minute with a simple but effective piece of play. Halford launched one of his long throws into the home area and Doyle slipped his marker to bullet a header past Baguette (pictured).
Sadly, two yellow flares were then tossed onto the pitch from the area behind the goal occupied by the travelling fans.
Charleroi drew level in the 59th minute when the Wolves defence failed to deal with Cordaro's low cross and Ederson Tormena ran in to convert at the far post.
Adekanmi Olufade, on as a substitute for just two minutes, almost gave his side the lead with a close range header but Ikeme made a fine save to deny the striker.
Berra needed treatment for what appeared to be a nosebleed before another flare was tossed onto the pitch.
Both teams then had a chance within a few seconds - Sylvan Ebanks-Blake prodding the ball a foot wide of the far post, before Jeremy Serwy drove over the bar from the 18-yard line as Charleroi threatened.
Ikeme had to be at his best to keep out a free-kick from Herve Kage and, after a probing run, Adlene Guedioura fed Andy Keogh on the left and his cross resulted in a diving header from Ebanks-Blake that was deflected behind.
The winning goal arrived in the 83rd minute and it was almost a carbon copy of Wolves first as Edwards nodded in from close range after another long throw from Halford.
