"Wrexham picked up a historic FA Cup win over Nottingham Forest on penalties after a breathless match that finished 3-3 after extra-time. The Championship side produced a fearless first-half display and were rewarded with two well-taken goals that left the Premier League visitors struggling to gain control. Wrexham's breakthrough arrived in the 37th minute when Liberato Cacace collected possession outside the area and fired a low right-footed effort into the bottom corner, catching Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels unsighted."
"That confidence was reinforced just three minutes later. Nathan Broadhead's intelligent movement created space in the box, and his pass found Oliver Rathbone arriving late. Rathbone kept his composure and guided his finish past Sels to give Wrexham a deserved 2-0 lead. Forest threatened sporadically before the interval, but Okonkwo was largely untroubled as Wrexham carried their advantage into half-time."
