Europa League Roundup: Nottingham Forest Win Late at Utrecht, Rangers Lose to Ferencvaros
Nottingham Forest secured a 2-1 victory away at Utrecht in the Europa League group stage. Kalimuendo scored the opener in the 52nd minute, while Mike van der Hoorn equalised for Utrecht in the 73rd minute. Igor Jesus then scored the late winning goal in the 88th minute. This result moved Forest to 11 points from six group matches, marking their third win and first away win in European competition this campaign. The team made nine changes from their previous match, with Murillo, Zinchenko, and Douglas Luiz returning from injury. Matz Sels was sidelined due to a groin injury, with John Victor starting in goal for Forest.
Elsewhere, Rangers were defeated 2-1 by Ferencvaros in Budapest. Bojan Miovski put Rangers ahead in the 27th minute, but Bence Otvos equalised in stoppage time of the first half (45+5 minutes). Barnabas Varga then headed Ferencvaros in front in the 73rd minute. Rangers manager Danny Rohl has enjoyed five wins in seven Scottish Premiership games since taking charge, but the club has only earned one point from 12 in European group-stage fixtures. The match featured an early chance from Rangers' Bamidele Yusuf and highlighted Ferencvaros’ ability to score late goals, leaving Rangers with a challenging group-stage situation to improve upon.
