Overview
- Nottingham Forest, which won 1-0 on Thursday at the City Ground, advanced 2-1 on aggregate to their first European last-four since 1984 against Aston Villa.
- A VAR review produced an eighth-minute red card for Porto’s Jan Bednarek after a high challenge on striker Chris Wood.
- Morgan Gibbs-White scored via a deflection and held up a tribute to Elliot Anderson, who missed the game after his mother’s death confirmed by the club.
- Chris Wood went off in the 16th minute following the foul, with Murillo and Callum Hudson-Odoi later withdrawn; Vítor Pereira said only Hudson-Odoi’s issue looked muscular and he expected the other two to recover.
- Forest now turn to Sunday’s Premier League home game against Burnley as they sit three points above the relegation zone and juggle squad health with a rare European run.
