As part of the last match of the 1/8 finals of the current draw of the Cup of England Nottingham Forest met with Ipswich Town.

Despite the fact that the teams are on the dramatically opposite parts of the APL standings, the guests were surprised by the “foresters” in the 54th minute, when George Hirsst opened the score in favor of Ipswich.

However, the joy of “tractors” lasted for a long time: in the 68th minute, Ryan Yeats returned the parity to the scoreboard after the transfer of Anthony Elanga.

In the main time, as well as in Overtimea, it was not possible to identify the stronger representatives of the APL, so the fate of the last voucher to the quarterfinals of the oldest football tournament was determined by a penalty series. The players of both teams were struck unmistakably as long as Ipswich’s fifth attempt performed by Jack Taylor did not parry Matz Sels.

Nottingham Forest steps further and will meet Brighton in the 1/4/4 finals of the Cup of England. The results of the draw at this link.
