Nottingham Forest Edge Past Midtjylland on Penalties, Celta and ...
Nottingham Forest overcame a first-leg loss to win 3-0 on penalties after a 2-2 aggregate draw, marking their first European quarter-final appearance since 1996.
- On March 19, 2026, Nottingham Forest advanced to the Europa League quarter-finals after a 3-0 penalty shootout win over FC Midtjylland, with the tie finishing 2-2 on aggregate after extra time at MCH Arena in Herning, Denmark.
- Needing to overturn a 1-0 first-leg loss from Cho Gue-sung's late header at City Ground, Nottingham Forest aimed to stay in the competition.
- Nicolas Dominguez broke the deadlock with a header four minutes before the break, Ryan Yates doubled the lead in the 52nd minute, and Martin Erlic pulled Midtjylland level in the 69th to force extra time.
- A farcical penalty sequence culminated in three Nottingham Forest conversions, while Midtjylland missed all three spot-kicks, with two hitting the post and Edward Chilufya slipping and firing over.
- The result places Nottingham Forest among the quarter-finalists in their first European campaign since 1995-96, alongside Celta Vigo and Freiburg.
