Julen Lopetegui got off to a winning start as Wolves manager, as they beat Gillingham in the Caraboa Cup.
The first goal of the season was scored on 77 minutes after a foul was called on Hee-chan.
After a break, Rayan Ait-Nouri secured the victory.
Gillingham was outgunned by their hosts.
The first game in charge of Wolves by former Real Madrid and Spain manager Julen Lopetegui had been a long time coming.
The 56-year-old needs to find a way to score goals if Wolves are to escape the drop in the premier league.
Despite having the majority of shots and possession, his team has only scored eight goals in the league this season.
In the first half, Ruben Neves hit a 35th-minute free-kick just wide before hitting the post with a 20-yard effort just before the break as Lopetegui became frustrated on the sideline.
He started Diego Costa for Spain, who qualified for the World Cup, but he is still waiting for his first Wolves goal.
It was the Mexican who broke the stalemate in the 77th minute after the South Korean was brought down following a corner.
When he scored againstPreston in the second round of the EFL Cup on August 23, he hadn't scored in almost a year.
Wolves' victory was secured in the final minute of injury time when Ait-Nouri found the back of the net.
The prospect of more goals can't be realised soon enough, so the club are set to sign a new player.
Their attention will be on trying to stay in the league for 72 years.
They have only won two of their 20 games in League Two, are winless since October, and have just six league goals.
Neil Harris' side looked like they could hold out for penalties having offered little in regular play.
Gillingham could still cause another cup upset when they playLeicester City in the FA Cup third round next month, even if that doesn't happen.
