Gibbs-White Sends Forest Into Europa League SF
Europa League SF: Morgan Gibbs-White's deflected first-half effort proved enough for Nottingham Forest to reach their first European semi-final since 1984 following a tense quarterfinal second leg against ten-man Porto.
Porto had started brightly in the opening leg seven days earlier and carved out the first chance of the return with barely a minute gone, Forest goalkeeper Stefan Ortega racing off his line to thwart Terem Moffi.
Any Porto momentum disappeared shortly afterwards when centre-back Jan Bednarek was dismissed for a challenge on Chris Wood, and the hosts took control of proceedings from there, captain Morgan Gibbs-White putting the Reds in front in the tie for the first time with a deflected strike that spun past the wrong-footed Diogo Costa.
