O Liverpool beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 away from home and qualified for the FA Cup semi-final. The Reds will face Manchester City, while Chelsea and Crystal Palace will play in the other bracket. Both matches are scheduled for Wembley.
The game was dominated by Liverpool, who had 65% possession and 14 shots against Forest’s 35% and six. However, the team was unable to be effective and take advantage of their opportunities during most of the match.
With 15 minutes to go, striker Zinckernagel missed a great chance for Nottingham, who would soon be suspended.
In the 33rd minute of the second half, left-back Tsimikas hit a beautiful cross for Diogo Jota, who attacked the opponent’s back and finished without major problems, opening the scoring and giving relief to the visitors.
With a minute to go before the final whistle, Ryan Yates headed free in the area and stopped goalkeeper Alisson. Despite the defeat, Forest showed a lot of resistance against the Premier League vice-leader.
Brazilians Alisson, Fabinho and Roberto Firmino started for Liverpool. All the names are on coach Tite’s radar for the World Cup.
