After bitter elimination in the FA Cup, Nottingham Forest turned around and qualified for the English League Cup this Wednesday. With Gustavo Scarpa in the starting lineup once again, the team led by Steve Cooper eliminated Wolverhampton on penalties.
The former Palmeiras attacking midfielder started the match again among the starting eleven. However, he did not have much prominence and ended up substituted during the second half, at 23 minutes. At that point, the score was already 1-1.
