Overview
- Nottingham Forest's first leg in Porto on Thursday finished 1-1 after William Gomes scored early for the hosts and Martim Fernandes hit a back-pass into his own net minutes later.
- Igor Jesus thought he had put Forest ahead in the second half, but VAR ruled the goal out for a foul on goalkeeper Diogo Costa.
- Stefan Ortega preserved the draw with several sharp saves as Porto controlled long spells and finished with 16 attempts.
- Head coach Vítor Pereira made nine changes from Forest's last Premier League game and called the away draw a good result as he tries to balance European progress with league survival.
- The quarter-final will be decided next week at the City Ground, where the winner will face Bologna or Aston Villa in the semi-finals.
