Matz Sels, Forest’s goalkeeper and penalty hero, speaks to the cameras!
I’m happy I could help the team. It was the only penalty I was in the right corner! The game was not so good, but we’ve got a big game next. The Cup is something really nice, we could be in the final.
Forest are absolutely delighted, and who can blame them! The second shootout they have won in this year’s FA Cup! The City Ground erupts!
Nuno sprints from the dugout with the widest grin on his face as he rushes to embrace his players, even giving Ola Aina a piggy back! Ha!
Jack Taylor is the unlucky Ipswich player! Sels dives to his left and saves the crucial penalty!

Penalty shootout score: Nottingham Forest 5-4 Ipswich Town
Hudson-Odoi sends another one into the side netting. That means Ipswich must score their next kick to stay in the shootout!
Penalty shootout score: Nottingham Forest 4-4 Ipswich Town
Johnson does the same, booting one into the top corner! No chance for Sels.
Penalty shootout score: Nottingham Forest 4-3 Ipswich Town
Top bins from Williams, who scored the winning penalty in the last round at Exeter!
Penalty shootout score: Nottingham Forest 3-3 Ipswich Town
Cajuste hasn’t scored for Ipswich in normal play, but keeps his cool and calmly sidefoots an equaliser in this shootout.
Penalty shootout score: Nottingham Forest 3-2 Ipswich Town
Anderson’s run up sort of gives away where he is going to put the penalty … Palmer guesses right … but the shot is simply too powerful and well placed. Forest lead 3-2!
Penalty shootout score: Nottingham Forest 2-2 Ipswich Town
Never in doubt. Liam Delap smashes one into the side netting. Quality penalty.
Penalty shootout score: Nottingham Forest 2-1 Ipswich Town
Gibbs-White takes his time … and has a stuttering run up … before curling the ball into the corner.
Penalty shootout score: Nottingham Forest 1-1 Ipswich Town
Morsy responds, sending Sels the wrong way. All square after one each.
Penalty shootout score: Nottingham Forest 1-0 Ipswich Town
Chris Wood scores, powering his shot to the left. Palmer guessed right but it was too hard.
The penalties will be taken at the Trent End, in front of the Forest supporters. Forest will also have the first kick. Chris Wood will take it.
As both teams get their breath before the spot kicks, just about time for some more 1950s footballer names.
“Surely we need look no further than Nathan Broadhead?” notes James Humphries. “I can absolutely see him partnered up with Sam Littlefoot in a swashbuckling 50s provincial team. Also as one half of a private detective duo, which makes me realise how many mid-c20th English footballers had names that are perfect for hardboiled private eyes. Dixie Dean, Tom Finney, Nat Lofthouse (“my friends call me shorty”).”
“As far as modern players that have names straight off a 1950’s teamsheet, nothing tops Danish legend and, somehow, ex-Barcelona forward Martin Braithwaite,” adds Kári Tulinius. “It’s surprising he didn’t have a namesake in the Stanley Matthews Final”.

120 min: One minute added. This has been an extra time desperately short on quality. Anderson curls a corner straight out, as if to prove my point.
118 min: Yates is very lucky not to get a red card! Already on a yellow, Yates is guilty of a fairly blatant handball, right in front of the referee. And while it is a free kick, the Forest captain escapes another caution. Morsy is not happy to say the least.
117 min: Murillo pings another goalbound shot at goal … blocked by Yates, a Forest player!
116 min: Just on, Jota Silva drags one wide from the edge of Ipswich’s penalty area after another nice pull back from Hudson-Odoi. Jota’s shot had a chance as it squirted through a host of Ipswich legs. That’s the closest Forest have come in extra time!
114 min: Murillo is down after taking one in the ribs from a O’Shea elbow. But after some brief concern from the Forest bench, the Brazilian is going to be OK to continue.
112 min: Forest make their final change: Elanga off, Jota on.
110 min: Delap has to do it all on his own as he collects the ball in his own half. But the Ipswich striker turns, knocks it past Morato and strides forward at goal. Just as Delap enters the penalty area, he falls over the challenge of Murillo, but despite appeals, the referee waves play on! Replays show it to be a good decision.

109 min: Forest’s subs have certainly made a difference. Williams whips a really dangerous cross in from the left but Wood is nowhere to be seen at the near post.
107 min: “The names Higginbotham, Danny Higginbotham – my favourite 50’s throwback name,” emails Justin Kavanagh. “He analyses (very well) now on USA TV and it always gives me a chuckle as to how his American anchors always pronounce his second name very precisely. He must have spent quite some time coaching them to avoid arsing it up when he joined up”.
We’re underway again. It’s worth noting that Forest were taken all the way in the last round at Exeter City. This is not how Nuno would have drawn things up. But it’s certainly better than getting beat 1-0.
Fifteen minutes to penalties, although both teams will be hoping to finish this off before then. Forest are pretty much at full strength though. At home, they are definitely the ones that are more likely to find a winner.
105 min: Gibbs-White is having a growing influence on proceedings. He is starting to dictate play with his passing and dribbling and tries a long-range shot, but it flies high and wide.
104 min: Hudson-Odoi picks up a loose ball and curls one five yards wide. Wood tried in vain to get his head on the shot as the New Zealander attempted to get a deflection on the effort.
102 min: Wood has had previous little to feed off since coming on, but gets a half chance here, as he connects with a Gibbs-White cross. His header, though, sails hopelessly wide.
100 min: “If you’re willing to leave the UK for your 50’s-named footballers, then the current Dutch international Kenneth Taylor is definitely one,” emails Andy Flintoff (not that one). “Bonus points for the fact that he shares his name with an actual 50s footballer/cricketer (who played for Huddersfield and Yorkshire).”
98 min: Delap wins a free-kick right on the edge of Forest’s box, but Townsend clips a shot straight into the bowels of Sels. A real chance, wasted.
96 min: Ipswich will be pleased with how they survived that Forest onslaught after the goal. Feels like a much more even game now, especially with Delap and Jack Clarke now looking lively. The latter is caught by Yates in midfield. A yellow card for the Forest captain.
94 min: Morsy flashes just wide as he tries a trivela shot with the outside of his boot. Jack Clarke had found some room on the left wing and cut the ball back to the Egyptian international.
92 min: “Was just pondering to myself, is there any modern player with a more “1950s football legend” name than George Hirst?” asks Ed Bogle.
Edward Bogle is quite 1950s. As is Jack Clarke. Tom Taylor. Jacob Greaves. Alexander Palmer, maybe.
Into extra-time we go.
“I know it’s a long way to go and a very long shot, but the merest hint of Ipswich going all the way makes me think of Wigan 2013: win the cup, get relegated,” emails Simon Dahlman (“formerly a resident of Wigan, now back in my native USA”).
We will go to extra-time!
90+4 min: Forest are politely probing for a winner but without the blood and thunder of a few minutes ago. Delap fouls Yates in midfield and Forest have a dangerous free kick … which comes to nothing.
90+2 min: Ipswich bring on Liam Delap (son of Rory) for George Hirst (son of David), Ipswich’s goalscorer. A lot of attention has been on England players tonight, with Thomas Tuchel in the stands. But Scotland manager Steve Clarke is also in attendance, and he is reportedly keeping an eye on Hirst, who is uncapped but qualifies for Scotland through a maternal grandparent.
90 min: Six minutes added on here for injury time. Morsy is booked for dissent for something he said to the referee upon the restart, as Greaves and Yates return to the pitch.
