It is a huge moment for Nottingham Forest and our journey – Nuno Expire Santo
Nuno exhaust santo savored a “huge moment” for Nottingham Forest After reaching the first semifinal of the FA Cup in 34 years.
Goalkeeper Matz Sels saved Jack Hinshelwood’s football and Diego Gomez while Forest Beat Brighton 4-3 on the penalties after a tie without networks at the Amex stadium.
Sels had previously made crucial saves in the shootings against Exeter and Ipswich in the two previous rounds.
This time he made forest parties as if it were 1991, the last time they reached the last four of the competition under Brian Clough.
“Good goalkeepers but also good shots,” said Nuno. “The third time and it is the first penalty that we have lost in all the shootings.
“It’s credit for players. And of course fantastic goalkeeper.”
Neco Williams He dug his penalty for the forest, but it didn’t matter while captain Ryan Yates came forward to send the Reds.
“It means a lot for all of us and above all for him to take the last penalty to send us to Wembley. Extraordinary,” added Nuno, who sat in the dug during the shooter while the rest of the players and staff got up on the shoulder on the shoulder on the touch line.
“I’m too nervous. It’s a moment of anxiety. And superstition. I only prefer to sit.
“It means a lot, it is a huge moment for our club and on our journey. It is a great competition, the England Cup. We are happy.”
Stuart Pearce He was in the Forest class of ’91, and was in radio service in the Amx and looked at Flettle at the end after his recent fear of health.
Pearce knew something or two on the penalty shots, so he would have enjoyed the climax, if not the 120 minutes that preceded him.
Forest received a penalty when Kaoru Mitoma slipped on Elliot Anderson, only for the referee Peter Bankes to change his mind to the revision.
Gomez approached him to win him for Brighton in extra time, but his header was tilted by Sels.
It meant that a third semifinal was denied in Brighton in seven years, and the boss Fabian Hurzeler admitted that the result hurt as much as the 7-0 drubbing from the same opposition in the Premier League last month.
“No difference. They are two great losses,” said the German, who chose the same penalty.
“I take responsibility. In the end they had a great goalkeeper and in the end we were unable to win this game.
“I think that in the 90 minutes we did not do enough to win this game. In extra times we did enough. Then we had some great possibilities and we could not score.
“The main thing is now showing a reaction. To be disappointed today and tomorrow, keep the will and show a reaction and show that we are able to remain united like a team.”
