Diogo Jota came off the bench to score a hat-trick as Wolves beat Besiktas 4-0 at Molineux to go into the Europa League knockout stages in style.
Wolves had been struggling to find a way through the Turkish team but Jota's introduction just before the hour mark turned the game as he scored three goals within 11 minutes.
Leander Dendoncker was also on target but Braga's 4-2 victory away to Slovan Bratislava meant Wolves had to settle for second spot in Group K, one point below the Portuguese.
Despite a healthy crowd of 27,866, it had looked to be a low-key contest for much of the evening with Wolves' progress already assured and Nuno Espirito Santo having made seven changes to his team.
Jota's arrival changed that. Patrick Cutrone produced a clever flick to put Pedro Neto away down the right and his cross found the head of Jota who scored with his first touch.
Besiktas' resistance was broken. Dendoncker's first-time shot from Joao Moutinho's corner struck the post from close range soon after but Wolves did not have to wait long.
The Belgian midfielder hit the frame of the goal again moments later with better results when his fierce long-range effort was pushed onto the post by Utku Yuvakuran only for Jota to react first and put home the rebound.
At the third time of asking, Dendoncker finally did have his goal - a straightforward header from another Moutinho corner as Wolves continued to overwhelm the visitors.
One minute later it was four goals in 11 minutes when young wing-back Oskar Buur won possession near the touchline and crossed for Jota to complete his hat-trick.
There were more than 20 minutes remaining at that point and there was still time for debutant Ebeguowen Otasowie to head against the top of the bar in search of a fifth.
Wolves were forced to settle for four goals and second spot in the group following Braga's come-from-behind win over Slovan Bratislava.
But with Nuno's side having lost only once in 18 games now - and that having been a weakened side in the Carabao Cup at Aston Villa - Wolves won't fear anyone in the last 32.
What's next?
Wolves supporters will have one eye on the Europa League on Monday as they wait to discover where this European adventure will take their team next but before all that there is the small matter of Premier League action at the weekend.
Nuno's team host Jose Mourinho's Tottenham at Molineux on Sunday with plenty at stake. With Spurs are currently one point adrift of Wolves, victory for the home side will guarantee that they retain their place in the top six.
