Nottingham Forest Reach First FA Cup Semi-Final in 32 Years Nottingham Forest has made a remarkable turnaround in just a year, transforming from a team struggling to avoid relegation to a top-three Premier League side and FA Cup semi-finalist. A Dramatic Penalty Shootout Win Forest defeated Brighton 3-2 in a penalty shootout after the match ended goalless, with goalkeeper Matz Sels making two crucial saves. This victory marks Forest's third consecutive penalty shootout win in the FA Cup this season, a first for any team. A Season of Revival Captain Ryan Yates, who scored the winning penalty, expressed his delight, saying, "It's been an incredible season... We have achieved nothing yet, but to send [our fans] to Wembley again - we know how special it was last time, getting promoted." Nuno's Tactical Decision Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo's decision to rest key attackers Callum Hudson-Odoi and Anthony Elanga raised eyebrows, but the move ultimately paid off. Hudson-Odoi came on as a substitute and scored Forest's second penalty. A Remarkable Turnaround Forest's resurgence is a testament to the team's hard work and determination. From facing relegation last season to competing for a Champions League spot and an FA Cup title, the Tricky Trees are on the rise.
