Matz Sels is FA Cup shootout hero as Nottingham Forest edge out Ipswich

Sometimes football is a game of four halves, and on this occasion three of them were devoid of quality. In the end, only one moment truly mattered and that was Matz Sels’ penalty shootout save from Jack Taylor to send Nottingham Forest into the FA Cup quarter-finals at Ipswich’s expense.

George Hirst and Ryan Yates exchanged goals in the second half of normal time, when the game finally came to life, but no one could source a winner prior to the shootout after a forgettable extra time.
