History was made on Saturday as Nottingham Forest clinched their first FA Cup semi-final spot in 34 years with a nail-biting penalty shootout victory over Brighton! 🌟 Belgian goalkeeper Matz Sels became the hero of the hour, saving two crucial penalties in the 4-3 decider after 120 goalless minutes at the Amex Stadium.
💥 The drama unfolded as Sels denied Jack Hinshelwood and Diego Gomez, while Forest’s Ryan Yates coolly slotted home the winning penalty—even after teammate Neco Williams skied his attempt. Talk about edge-of-your-seat action! 🎮
This win adds to Forest’s *wild* cup journey: they’ve now survived three shootouts this season, including against lower-league Exeter and Premier League strugglers Ipswich. Manager Nuno Espirito Santo is cooking something special this year—could Champions League football *and* an FA Cup final be on the horizon? 🤯 Their last Wembley appearance? 1991. The vibes are immaculate.
