Nottingham Forest secured a spot in the FA Cup semi-finals after a goalless draw and a tense 4-3 penalty shootout win over Brighton. Goalkeeper Matz Sels was the hero, saving two penalties before Ryan Yates' winning kick. This marks Forest’s first semi-final appearance in 34 years.
Nottingham Forest booked their first FA Cup semi-final spot in 34 years after a dramatic penalty shootout victory over Brighton at the Amex Stadium. The match ended in a tense 0-0 draw after 120 minutes, with few clear-cut chances for either side. However, Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels emerged as the hero, saving crucial penalties from Jack Hinshelwood and Diego Gomez.
Captain Ryan Yates netted the decisive spot-kick, sparking jubilant celebrations among Forest fans. Brighton, who struggled to impose themselves, failed to avenge their heavy Premier League loss to Forest last month. Forest now turn their focus to Wembley, where they stand two wins away from a historic FA Cup triumph.
