What Happened In a decisive first leg of the Europa League knockout round play-off tie, Nottingham Forest secured a commanding 3-0 victory against Fenerbahçe at their home ground. The match marked a significant achievement for Forest, as it was their biggest away win in European competition history. Why It Matters New manager Vitor Pereira’s reign began with a strong performance, showcasing the team’s confidence and tactical prowess. Central defender Murillo opened the scoring with a long-range strike, followed by Igor Jesus extending the lead shortly after. Despite Fenerbahçe’s attempts, including a denied penalty appeal after a VAR check, they struggled to maintain possession and cope with Forest’s intensity throughout the match. What’s Next With this victory, Nottingham Forest is now favored to advance to the last 16 of the tournament, where they will face either Midtjylland or Real Betis in the second leg at the City Ground on February 26. The team aims to build on this momentum as they continue their campaign in Europe.
