"Callum Hudson-Odoi's goal settled the tie for Nottingham Forest, who are through to the Europa League last 16 with a 4-2 aggregate win over Fenerbahce, despite a 2-1 loss on Thursday. Forest comfortably won the first leg 3-0, but Kerem Akturkoglu struck twice to cut the hosts' lead at the City Ground, only for Hudson-Odoi to put the result beyond doubt."
"Unimpressed by the first-half performance, Pereira made four half-time changes, but things immediately got worse after the break, with Jair Cunha catching Akturkoglu in the box just 24 seconds into the second half to give away a penalty, which the striker confidently dispatched."
"The Turkiye international became the first player to score two goals in a major European game against Forest since Jurgen Klinsmann in March 1996 for Bayern Munich in the UEFA Cup."
Nottingham Forest progressed to the Europa League last 16 after a 4-2 aggregate win over Fenerbahce, though they lost the second leg 2-1 at home. Forest's commanding 3-0 first-leg victory provided cushion against a strong Fenerbahce comeback. Kerem Akturkoglu scored twice in the second leg, including a penalty, to threaten Forest's advancement. However, Callum Hudson-Odoi's 68th-minute goal settled the tie. Forest made four half-time adjustments after an underwhelming first-half display. Despite Fenerbahce's pressure and quality chances, Forest's goalkeeper Stefan Ortega made crucial saves to secure the result.
