On Saturday afternoon, Brighton came out of a ruthlessly tight FA Cup quarter-final after a goalless two hours at home to Nottingham Forest.
The weight of the occasions on Saturday was difficult for a serious opening of 90 minutes. Nottingham Forest has not increased the FA Cup for 66 years – the last time they made it until the final, Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler was not even born. The seagulls have never won the oldest cup competition in football.
The two sides managed to combine only four shots in the total opening of 45 minutes. Wald was 3-0 during the break when Brighton traveled to the town square in February and scored seven unanswered goals against her porous visitors on this historic day.
Hurzeler set the notebook with which he had planned this device in a slightly cult ceremony in front of his squad after this defeat. The controlled combustion triggered a hot strip for Brighton, which came to the quarter -finals on the back of six wins on the back of six wins.
The forest was less convincing in the between eight weeks and on the Amex without a fleet of regular starters. It showed. In the absence of top goalkeeper Chris Wood, visitors did not offer much attacking threats, but managed to mix their hosts with a typically organized setup and to do without any attacking width in order to stuff the middle of the field with as many red shirts as the laws of the game.
The seams of both sides loosened in the second half, with Brighton growing into the climb. However, it was Forest who won a penalty shortly after the hourly market when Elliot Anderson stormed with a slide from Kaoru. After a Var consultation, Peter Bankes condemned that Anderson had started contact.
A touch of hesitation and fear was interspersed throughout the competition, which crawled with the game in extra time, which was still goalless.
The Brighton replacement Diego Gomez forced an impressive stop from Matz Sels from Forest, and Joao Pedro left a late tap-in a clear apart, but a penalty shootout felt long before the bank blew the pipe.
Gomez turned out to be just as wasteful in shooting. After successive flours by his teammates Jack Hinsshelwood and Forests Neco Williams, Brighton’s winter recruit has blown up his powerful efforts directly onto the Sels’ glove. Ryan Yates kept his nerve and sent the ball through Bart Bugging to send forest to the semi -finals.
