Nottingham Forest drew 1-1 with Porto in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final in Porto, with a long-range own goal from Martim Fernandes giving Forest the lead before an equaliser kept the tie level heading to the City Ground for the return leg. The second leg will be played at Forest’s home ground next week as they attempt to advance to the semi-finals.[3][4]
If you’d like, I can pull a quick summary of key players who returned from injury for Forest or provide a live-timeline of the ties as they progressed.[1][2]
