Nottingham Forest, a two-time champion of the Champions League and ranked 18th in the Premier League before the game, ushered in the third round of the Europa League. Nottingham Forest played at home against the Porto team, a two-time champion of the Champions League and ranked first in the Portuguese Super League before the game.

Nottingham Forest suffered three consecutive losses in the three games before the game, while Porto's 2 wins and 1 draw in the three games before the game were obviously better than Nottingham Forest. In terms of paper strength, Nottingham Forest is stronger than Porto. Because the entire Nottingham Forest team is worth 250 million euros more than Porto, more fans were full of confidence in Nottingham Forest defeating Porto before the game. After all, Nottingham Forest still has the advantage of home court in this game.

In the 20th minute of the first half, Bednarek committed a handball foul in the penalty area and the 25-year-old Gibbs-White took the penalty shot into the lower left corner of the goal to help Nottingham Forest take the lead.

In the 77th minute, Mattim brought down the opponent's player in the penalty area to score a point. Igor Jesus took the penalty kick and helped Nottingham Forest score another victory.

In the end, Nottingham Forest defeated Porto as expected and ushered in its first victory in the Europa League this season. However, Porto missed the 3-game winning streak in the Europa League.

In this campaign, the Nottingham Forest team started the game with Ndoye, White, Jesus, Callum Odoi, Zinchenko, Elliott and other strong players, while the Porto team started with Pepe and Omo Rodion and other strong players.
