The Wolves led 12-2 at halftime after tries from Leon Hayes and Matty Ashton, capitalising on defensive errors by Hull, including a sin-bin for James Batchelor. Josh Thewlis extended the lead early in the second half before Hull mounted a late fightback.

Ethan O'Neill and Tom Briscoe scored for Hull, with Briscoe crossing for the 233rd try of his career in his final home appearance before retirement. Despite Hull reducing the deficit to two points, Warrington held on to move two points behind league leaders Leeds Rhinos and Wigan Warriors. Hull finished the match with 13 men after Ligi Sao was sin-binned and involved in further incidents.

Warrington captain George Williams kicked two goals, while Aidan Sezer landed three for Hull. Warrington now travel to Wakefield Trinity, while Hull face Toulouse Olympique next.
