Wood’s penalty gives Nottingham Forest a 1-0 win over Aston Villa in Europa League semifinal 1st leg

Chris Wood scored from the penalty spot to give Nottingham Forest a 1-0 victory over Aston Villa in the first leg of their all-English Europa League semifinal on Thursday. In a matchup of two teams hoping to revive former European glory, the win at the City Ground puts Forest a step closer to what would be its first continental competition final in 46 years. Wood fired his 71st-minute penalty high into the net, giving goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez no chance to save after defender Lucas Digne was whistled for handball. “It’s nice to have the advantage but going to Villa Park will be a tough game,” the New Zealand striker told the TNT Sports. “But we’ve done the job here at home and now hopefully we’ll build into next week.” Vítor Pereira’s team stretched its unbeaten run to nine games in all competitions.

Palestinian football chief slams Israeli official at FIFA meeting

VANCOUVER: Palestinian football federation President Jibril Rajoub refused to take part in a photo opportunity with Israel soccer official Basim Sheikh Suliman in a tense incident at the end of FIFA’s Congress on Thursday. After both Rajoub and Suliman had addressed delegates, FIFA President Gianni Infantino invited both men to stand alongside him. However Rajoub declined the gesture, refusing repeated attempts by Infantino to encourage him to participate in the moment. At one point Rajoub could be heard to say: “We are suffering.” The Palestinian Football Association recently appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport over FIFA’s refusal to sanction Israel over football clubs based in the West Bank. The PFA maintains that clubs based in West Bank settlements should not be allowed to compete in leagues controlled by Israeli football authorities. In 2024, United Nations experts said at least eight football clubs had been identified as playing in “Israeli colonial settlements” and called on FIFA to “fulfil its responsibility to respect human rights.” Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Rajoub called on FIFA to “apply the statutes with fairness, with logic.” “What’s going on in Palestine is terrible, destroying all the Palestinian sport facilities in Gaza, the killings of hundreds of Palestinian athletes, employees... I think it’s now the time to make justice,” Rajoub said. “The guy who spoke on behalf of Israel, he did not even pay attention to the suffering, to what’s going on. “I refused to shake hands.
